Installing via PyPi does not create and initialise config.ini

[jamesinc]

I just installed via PyPi (pip install gpterminator) and was met with an exception.

$ gpterm                                                                                    
Traceback (most recent call last):                                                          
  File "/Users/james/.pyenv/versions/3.10.9/bin/gpterm", line 8, in <module>                
    sys.exit(main())

KeyError: 'SELECTED_CONFIG'   

Looking at setup.py, I figured out it was needing ~/.config/gpterminator/config.ini and ~/.config/gpterminator/saves and created those files and populated them according to setup.py, which fixed the issue.

Python: 3.10.9 (NB: I'm using pyenv with 3.10 as my global Python)

Hmmm, that is odd. Let me look into this. I'm new to packaging Python projects, so I am unsure how to initialize config directories when installing with pypi.

[AineeJames]

I am now realizing that when you install from PyPi, the setup.Py is not called and therefore not creating the necessary directories.

[AineeJames]

I have made a new release to pypi (v0.1.6) that now handles the config file and directory creation from within the script, it should work now without having to manually create the files/dirs!
