Error in get_pyscan_version when installed without the -e (pip install .) #210

Reason: upon install, VERSION doc is not being copied into the installation folder.

When you do -e with the install, the files are not copied so it's not a problem.

We have to decide whether this is an issue or not, if everyone installs with -e then it's not necessarily an issue.

If pyscan goes on pypi, then is installing with -e still possible? Will VERSION be downloaded or not?

added a try: except: pass so at least it runs with install . for now.
