I'm trying to install the mitmproxy package via pip like this:
$ sudo pip install mitmproxyIt terminates with following error message:

The other answers only address the dependencies to make the errors you mentioned go away. The list of all dependencies needed is actually much longer.
You can install them all with:
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-devThen you can install mitmproxy:
sudo pip install mitmproxyAnd run it:

There's actually two different issues here in your output (assuming all other dependency issues are resolved already). Both need fixed.
Missing SSL Libraries
- As was stated by Knud Larsen in their answer to this question, you are missing the OpenSSL libraries. Refer to their answer on this question for that issue.
Missing Python Modules
There is a python script that is part of whatever you're running, and it is missing a module (called
configargparse) which it needs to run.If you are on Ubuntu 15.10 or newer, you can install it by doing
sudo apt-get install python-configargparse.If you are on any version of Ubuntu before 15.10 you will need to install it via
pipto download it and make it available to the system:sudo pip install configargparse(Note that
python pip install mitmproxywill achieve the same type of dependency resolutions once you fix the missing SSL libraries issue, however if it does not for some reason you'll have to manually install that module)
NOTE: Your question states that you are using Ubuntu MATE 15.10. Ubuntu 15.10 for all variants has gone EndOfLife on July 28, 2016. You should consider upgrading to 16.04, in order to receive continued Ubuntu support and updates.
