Installation from pip does not work

[florianluediger]

Since you updated win10toast in the pip repository, installation does not work anymore for me. It looks like the requirements.txt file can not be found. For reference, this is the error:

PS C:\Python 361\VENVs\Test\Scripts> .\pip.exe install win10toast --no-cache-dir
Collecting win10toast
  Downloading win10toast-0.8.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

    During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Same problem

What I did to fix it was install pypiwin32 first, then i download the repository and modify setup.py and remove the requirements for installation, then I installed it manually with setup.py install and I was able to install it correctly.
