How do I install bzr-fastimport?

[Tiago Cogumbreiro]

Hello all,

I tried following the instructions in bzr-fastimport site [1] and the
installation did not succeed, since:

$ bzr fast-export repo/ > repo.fi
bzr: ERROR: No module named fastimport.cmds
You may need to install this Python library separately.

I googled around and found out some more failed attempts [2,3,4] whose
fixes did not work with me, since after renaming directory
'fastimport' to 'python_fastimport' I tried installing it system-wide

sudo python setup.py install

But then I get the following error:

$ bzr fast-export repo/ > repo.fi
bzr: ERROR: No module named fastimport.cmds
You may need to install this Python library separately.

Any idea on what am I doing wrong?
