Setup fails with pip install

[SamBryce-Smith]

Hi,

I've tried to install iCount through pip and I'm getting the following error. It is consistent across using pip or pip3 to install (my python versions are 2.7 & 3.6)

pip install icount
Collecting icount
Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/87/1b/785202907a94d2c2968727a48bac503f03e236f5b11bcc31bc2a0c3ab826/iCount-2.0.0.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
error in iCount setup command: 'install_requires' must be a string or list of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers; Unordered types are not allowed

For what it's worth, the Docker image works perfectly (but for sake of simplicity and flexibility it would be useful to be able to install iCount via pip so it can be incorporated into conda environments).

Thanks for your time and all the best,
Sam

Same problem here. I would hugely prefer pip for its ease of use.

That said, I will try the docker approach next.

I got the same for the PyPI version, but this worked for me:

$ git clone https://github.com/tomazc/iCount 
$ cd iCount
$ python3 -m pip install --user .
