pip install fails on Ubuntu 20.04

[rolyp]

Submitted by Paul Moore ([email protected]). Could thinking about testing the pip install in an Ubuntu 20.04 VM (see #74).

Hi Sam,

I just got the error copied below when installing esig. It could be a
problem with my environment, but could you let me know if there is any
issue with pip install esig at the moment. It’s on Ubuntu 20.04.

All the best,

Paul.
