    ImportError: torch.utils.ffi requires the cffi package

This is fixed by pip install cffi

That's actually interesting. I stumbled upon the same issue and installed cffi manually just like you. Then I thought it would be nice to submit a quick PR that adds cffi into setup_requires, but it turns out it's already there!

So, I digged a bit more, and it turns out that the import of the cffi package comes before the setup command. Not a trivial problem to solve, one possible solution is shown here: libgit2/pygit2#407

As I haven't worked with cffi before I leave the fix to sb else.

I'm having the same error even after installed cffi.
