pip version is a pre-release version

Please provide any additional information below.

I can't install distorm using pip on an ubuntu machine. Here's the errors:

Here's a more detailed error including system information:

This seems to be related to this grr issue. Grr depends on distorm and has to 
pay special attention to the installation of distorm:

Sounds to me like the problem with distorm is that it uses a version numbering 
scheme that is incompatible with PEP426 as described here:

fies-the-requirement-pytz

The installation works fine under certain Ubuntu installations using --pre:

However, it doesn't work on the latest Ubuntu on a clean system as shown above. 
Furthermore, it works fine on a mac with --pre.

Please advise on how to properly install distorm for python. Does it make sense 
to change the versioning scheme also? Thanks!

Hi,

I'm playing with this thing, haven't touched it for a long while now.
I will change the version too, if that's what required to make it working.

Let's see.

I added distorm3-pypi package to PYPI, as a temporary test.
Could you please tell me if it works for you?

I will remove it and update distorm3 package itself once Mario will give me 
ownership.

Thanks

Ok, retry with install distorm3 and let me know whether it works.
