sudo pip install trezor_agent fails to compile

[PavelNiedoba]

I assume trezor_agent is part of this repo, I'm trying to follow install guide

compilation.err.txt
tmp/comp.err

i asked question on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45692279/using-bitcoin-trezors-ssh-agent too

As mentioned here: https://github.com/trezor/python-trezor#install:

On Linux you might need to run these commands first:

sudo apt-get install python-dev cython libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev git
sudo pip install setuptools

this solved installation problem but running

trezor-agent pavel@google.com

failed with

Thanks for reporting this issue!
Will take a look at it tomorrow.

@PavelNiedoba
Could you please try to update urllib3 using pip install --upgrade urllib3?

[PavelNiedoba]

OK, sorry for late reply. I got this working on latest Linux Mint (18). It's quite nice, but I'm using Chrome password manager extension which stops working once I use agent. I have to disconnect and reconnect the device to get PM working again. Is this feature or bug ?

[romanz]

It seems that opening a connection to the TREZOR using the Python library indeed causes the password manager to lose the connection to the device. This actually happens for the Web wallet as well.
This can be reproduced by running trezorctl ping msg from the command-line...

Maybe you can use TREZOR bridge to access the device from Python and Chrome simultaneously (PR)?
