Yes, you need pyutil which you can find at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyutil
or you can have pip install it for you BUT be careful of older versions of pip
which have a bad habit of downloading code over HTTP or unverified HTTPS.

I just tested and confirmed that zfec installs correctly (and "safely", relying
on HTTPS and PyPI) into a new virtualenv (root not required) using these steps:

wget 
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.10.1.tar.gz
tar xf virtualenv-1.10.1.tar.gz
./virtualenv-1.10.1/virtualenv.py ./zfec_venv
source ./zfec_venv/bin/activate
pip install --no-allow-insecure zfec

happy hacking,
