Issues trying to install modules

Hello. I am trying to install libshout in my virtualenv. Here's the result I'm getting:

(mysite) 05:58 ~$ pip install libshout-2.4.1.tar.gz                                                                                     
Processing ./libshout-2.4.1.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/home/mtdargen/.virtualenvs/mysite/lib/python3.5/tokenize.py", line 454, in open
        buffer = _builtin_open(filename, 'rb')
    FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/pip-x4_tpq36-build/setup.py'

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-x4_tpq36-build/

I can't figure out what is going wrong. I have tried installing other modules tonight with similar results (missing files in /tmp/, and always something about python setup.py egg_info). Have also tried installing outside of the virtualenv with --user to the same errors. Any ideas?

update: tried installing setuptools and ez_setup within my virtualenv as this stackoverflow thread explains, and still getting the same error when installing libshout.

How big is it? Could you be running out of disk space?
