Code cannot be installed from Pip #4

Closed proffalken closed 5 years ago

proffalken commented 5 years ago

We're looking to use this across multiple devices, and installing from Pip would be incredibly useful to us.

It does mean re-arranging some of the code, but the advantage is that we can then build this into our Raspberry Pi config management tooling and deploy it wherever we need to.

Pushed changes, and uploaded to pypi.

Should now be able to install using sudo pip install mfrc522

Let me know if there are any issues with this as its my first time dealing with uploading packages to pypi

Looks good to me - thanks!

(Error at the end is because I'm running it on my laptop!)

Glad to hear, I have gone and updated the Pi My Life Up tutorial to utilize the pypi package as well.
