I was also stuck with same issue.

Now,I have fixed it by installing following packages:

python2 

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev

python3 

sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev
