Question

Full error text:

No module named couchbase._libcouchbase

This only happens when I try to import couchbase_ffi in the PyPy build on Travis: https://travis-ci.org/ardydedase/pycouchbase/jobs/76043402#L1663

Details:

I have this in my requirements.txt for couchbase-python-cffi:

cffi==0.8.0
couchbase==2.0

Looks like an incompatibility issue with the packages. But not sure where it's coming from.
