pip package appears to be missing __main__.py about premailer

[peterbe]

WTF!
I have no idea what just happened but when you go to pypi has version 1.4.1 and that has __main__.py in it.

However, if you do pip install premailer you get verion 1.12. What's that about?!

Actually, I think I've found the mistake. Some time ago, for some reason, I must have accidentally used 1.13
3981359#diff-2eeaed663bd0d25b7e608891384b7298R8
But I don't remember why?!

Anyway, I think pypi is listing the highest number, not the most recent version. Lemme try to upgrade pypi.

I have premailer 1.13 and pip install --upgrade premailer fails with

Yeah I got that too! What does that even mean?! Why would there not be a setup.py. It's certainly there when you download the 2.0.0 tarball.
Any idea?

[punchagan]

Your directory is called premailer-2.0.0 and it's looking inside the premailer directory?

[punchagan]

Try pip install -b /tmp/build premailer to help debug the issue. Looks like there is an additional level in the directory structure in the tarball?

[peterbe]

That same strange error about setup.py not existing happens for 1.4.1 too now.

[peterbe]

Wow! That was a tricky one. After a lot of hacking on this (and hair-pulling!) I finally managed to make a tarball that didn't contain spurious copies with a ._ prefix on every file.

Solution was to build the dist using a python 2.7 virtualenv instead.

Just released 2.0.2 on pypi which now works in a clean test environment.

Thanks @peterbe !
