Install problem

It pip install fails, as it can't find the CHANGELOG.rst file

My github project often gets an ./autogen.sh executable script that you are meant to execute to compute version information (stored in setup.py) and changelog file from git history.

I try to document this, and this was done in INSTALL.rst ... There might be room for improvement, but I just want to make sure that you are aware of these facts.

If you want to get access to the packaged version, you don't need to get the github files, and can use:

pip install colour

Do you still feel that I should provide an empty CHANGELOG.rst file ?

Hi, I was only installing from github because the package install didn't work at the time. But now it does, so perhaps this isn't actualy an issue. :confused:

I think that if you are auto generating this information for development, it makes more sense not hard code anything that might be duplicated. But an empty file might prevent it erroring, when it looks for the file, if someone forgets to run the shell script. I missed the INSTALL.rst file when I installed this, although it was clearly documented.

Great tool by the way :)
