issue with pip install (python2)

Hi,

Pip install fails for python2 install because of missing Readme file:

long_description=open('README.md').read(),

sudo pip2 install cmocean

Ah, the issue is

cmocean/MANIFEST.in

Line 1 in 7bf45bf

include README.rst

which is the wrong file!

@kthyng we probably need to fix that and then do a micro release to fix it.

Building a python2 wheel (I was confused and thought it made universal wheels by default) and uploading that is a short-term work around. There is a python3 wheel up which is why this worked when I tested it at scipy

@rbeucher Updating to python3 would also work around this problem.

@tacaswell

Yes I think the pb comes from the python2 wheel. Python3 is fine. My pb is that cmocean is used as a dependency in our code and we have not fully transitioned to python2. I can pull the source from the github repo as a temporary workaround.

[tacaswell]

There is not a py2 wheel, you are getting the tarball instead (which is where the file is missing).

Hi, I am having the same issue. Has a fix been implemented for this, or can you suggest a way to circumvent it?

[rbeucher]

Hi @kkozarev

You can pull the sources from github and do a pip install on it.

I have changed from .rst to .md so hopefully this isn't an issue anymore. I will close this but feel free to comment if there is still a problem.
