python setup.py develop not working #39

Just wanted to put this out there in case anyone else wants to install the package using "develop" mode which is useful when making changes to the source code and not having to reinstall it to see the impact on the package.

python setup.py develop

currently returns an error

There is an easy to fix if you want to use it in this way.

In setup.py replace the line

from distutils.core import setup

with

from setuptools import setup

This is the recommended solution for another package with the same issue from https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions/issues/92#issuecomment-946641

Hi Jonathan, Thanks for the tip! I didn't know about that feature. I have merged the change into master. A new release is available on PyPi with your fixes as well!

Sincerely, Caleb
