MDAnalysis install fails on broken dependency.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm reporting this here more for reference than for actually fixing, since the 
problem is rooted in an MDAnalysis dependency.

Trying to install the latest MDAnalysis package (0.8.1rc1) from pip fails if 
one also tries to update the dependencies. The actual problem seems to be a bug 
in the GridDataFormats 0.2.3 PyPI package where the "SUMMARY.txt" file is 
missing.

For new downloaders this could be a deal breaker, since also then 
GridDataFormats has to be installed.

The workaround is to
1) pip uninstall MDAnalysis
2) install GridDataFormats using pip and the GridDataFormats github .zip (which 
will include SUMMARY.txt):
  pip install https://github.com/orbeckst/GridDataFormats/archive/master.zip
3) pip install MDAnalysis
(Just trying to upgrade the MDAnalysis package will also fail since pip tries 
to upgrade all the dependencies)

Oops. I just uploaded GridDataFormats 0.2.4; the only change is the inclusion 
of SUMMARY.txt a(and README.rst).

Can you please try again?

The pip upgrade completes cleanly now, installing GridDataFormats version 0.2.4.
Thanks
