I have been using the paho-mqtt client successfully with python 2.7 on raspbian stretch, but I have a need to use python 3.5 on a new project and paho-mqtt does not appear to install or build for that version of python on raspbian stretch.
when I try to install via pip ...
(qt) pi@qacker:~ $ which python
/home/pi/berryconda3/envs/qt/bin/python
(qt) pi@qacker:~ $ python --version
Python 3.5.4
(qt) pi@qacker:~ $ pip install paho-mqtt
