Here's what I did to allow pysftp module to install via pip. I found this
on a RaspberryPi forum. You search on this problem and hits come from all
over the place with no solutions, until I found this:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
pip install --user -U setuptools
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
sudo pip install pysftp #errors during pysftp install, " Building wheel for
pynacl (PEP 517) ... \" still working...
This is on my Pi3 running Jessie.
