It would be useful if there were some install instructions.
I made the mistake of unpacking the .zip and trying to load the __init__.py file,
that didn't work, so i searched for a solution, and discovered that one could
unpack it into Blenders addons or addons_contrib folder, and that worked,
but a better solution was to just load the .zip directly.
Possible Instructions
Here's an attempt at some install instructions,
fell free to improve on them and make them clearer.
For instance the current file name in the instructions:
sketchup_importer_0.15_win64_fix_2.77.zip

Here's an attempt at some install instructions, fell free to improve on them and make them clearer.
For instance the current file name in the instructions: sketchup_importer_0.15_win64_fix_2.77.zip
maybe it could be written more generally and/or a link could be added to the releases: https://github.com/martijnberger/pyslapi/releases
with a suggestion to download the latest version.
The final instructions should probably be added to: https://github.com/martijnberger/pyslapi/blob/master/README.md
Here's the system and versions the instructions were tested on, but i'm not sure if / how they should be included in the instructions.
