Heh, yes I ran into the same problem myself today. Most of the issues are due to OS-level dependencies required by the cryptography module. I found that the following resolved all those dependencies for me (on Ubuntu 14.04 trusty 64 bit):

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install libffi-dev g++ libssl-dev

You can read more about cryptography dependencies at https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation/

I've updated the installation instructions and those are now in PR #26
