Please read the installation documentation before filing issues. In this case you're missing the python dev headers (and probably other dev headers as well, but the install halts after the first fatal error).

[titovanton]

The installation doc does not help at all, to install it on Ubuntu 14.04. I'm trying set it up inside vagrant with box name "ubuntu/trusty64"...

[reaperhulk]

If the installation documentation is lacking detail then we want to fix that, but you've provided no details of the error or what you tried so we can't provide much guidance. The docs do clearly state to do apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev on Ubuntu -- does this not work for you?

[titovanton]

I've solved the problem with usage of the newest Ubuntu 16.04 box. So now, using oficcial installation guide - everything works fine. Sorry for I didn't provide any error information. Mby it works on Ubuntu 14.04, but it does not for sure, if the Ubuntu 14.04 inside vagrant box "ubuntu/trusty64". All you need to reproduce the error, set a provision.sh file to this:

apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get install -y build-essential
apt-get install -y python2.7-dev
apt-get install -y python-pip
apt-get install -y libffi-dev
apt-get install -y libssl-dev
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install cryptography

One more time: the setup above works for "ubuntu/xenial64", but does not for "ubuntu/trusty64" and raises an error about SSL bla-bla crap...

not work en 14.04 the solution but en 16.04 is fine

I can add to this in that I am dealing with the same issue today.
