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.
