I made a PR to fix this earlier, but it had it's own problems so I'm making an issue instead (as directed).
When I run pip install ., I get this error:

I believe this is because, when the packages option is used, pip expects a folder called sway_workspaces with an __init__.py folder, not a file called sway_workspaces.py. Instead, and individual python module could be specified using the py_modules option (https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/setupscript.html#listing-individual-modules).
