Why does cffi suddenly need to write something into a system directory? Is this related to #529?

EDIT granting user write permissions allows the code to proceed, but I'm not sure whether I can remove the permissons now or not.

    Closing, sorry nobody answered at the time.

    We don't support cffi 0.x anymore.
