Updated setup.py (workaround for issue 229) #231

Closed c0d3st0rm closed 8 years ago

c0d3st0rm commented 8 years ago

This is a workaround for issue #229, where an exception is thrown if the file exists. The try and except statement will ignore any "File exists" errors, but raise an exception for any others.

Is this going to be merged? It's really just for users who have had the same issue as me.

Wouldn't it be better to remove the file if it already exists, and try again? Perhaps it has been changed.

It was never installed in the first place, which is strange. But then I'm not the only person who has had this error either - I wonder if they had installed it beforehand too.

EDIT: doesn't seem so, as they both have fresh installs.
