Installation error of python package using pip

Question

I tried to install a python module called python-phonenumbers I got this error

sudo pip install git+git://github.com/daviddrysdale/python-phonenumbers.git

Cleaning up... Command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools;file='/tmp/pip-YQ6XJC-build/setup.py';exec(compile(open(file).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), file, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-s3GdMz-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed failed with error code -9 in /tmp/pip-YQ6XJC-build Storing complete log in /home/ubuntu/.pip/pip.log

I attached the complete log here http://paste2.org/WZzCdz7Y

update

I mistakenly put the following line

 sudo pip install git://github.com/daviddrysdale/python-phonenumbers.git

instead of

sudo pip install git+git://github.com/daviddrysdale/python-phonenumbers.git

I'm getting the same error with pip install phonenumbers==6.0.0 — boatcoder
@Mark0978 see below - looks like is a known / active issue with the latest version — Cory
Yea, I found the open issue after I posted that comment here. I changed to pip install phonenumber<6.0.0 and it install's just fine. The potential of this to blow up my website is not without concern, but I have intention of loading the geodata so hopefully this will not be a problem — boatcoder

This is not in response to the original failure, but to others who have come in from Google (like I have) since the 6.0 release. It looks like this a memory bug introduced by an increase in the geodata in the latest release, and so will fail on systems with a limited amount of memory available at the time of install. The issue is being tracked here: https://github.com/daviddrysdale/python-phonenumbers
