py 1.5 breaks py.log: "No module named syslog"

Unfortunately the changes introduced in 7f46178c972155f49ec5376b273f63492d9c7d2e break on Windows, and my PR in #157 did not take the proper approach of detecting and fixing the problem. 😓

Fixed by #171

@nicoddemus - thanks for the fast fix! There is one problem left though for existing Python 3.3 builds - as 1.5.0 is the last version supporting Python 3.3, this version is now installed with the latest py.test under Python 3.3 - that breaks pytest under Windows. It would be nice to have another version of py with Python 3.3 enabled in setup.py, so it can be installed from pypi for this version (alternatively, py.test requirements could be adapted to only accept py < 1.5.0 for Python 3.3). What do you think?

Hi @mrbean-bremen, thanks for writing.

To solve this we were considering removing py-1.5.0 from PyPI given that it has irrevocably wrong meta-data. I guess this is the solution, so I will do that shortly.

alternatively, py.test requirements could be adapted to only accept py < 1.5.0 for Python 3.3

Indeed that's what we did in pytest-3.2.4, but there are issues with pip dependency resolver (see pytest-dev/pytest#2926); if not for that I think we would not have had all this problems.

And it has been removed. @mrbean-bremen this should fix your builds now.

Hopefully this is the end of that.

@nicoddemus - thanks a lot, works like a charm now!
