cannot install from master

pip install git+https://github.com/takluyver/nbopen fails due to flit settings, no setup.py:

We're working* on PEP 517, which will allow pip to install projects from source without a setup.py. Until then, you either need to install it from PyPI, or get the repo and run flit install inside it.

(* Well, arguing about it. Put three programmers in a room, you get four opinions, as they say. But it is gradually getting closer)

@takluyver it would be nice if flit supported this at least until pip gets this feature:

flit install git+https://github.com/takluyver/nbopen

i did not understand how to use flit installfrom to install from github? there is no example in flit repository.

[takluyver]

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that. The syntax is: flit installfrom github:takluyver/nbopen .

The installfrom subcommand will be deprecated and eventually removed once PEP 517 goes through.
