installation fails on windows with ImportError: No module named pwd

python-daemon 2.2.0 doesn't install correctly on windows:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "...\python-daemon\setup.py", line 34, in <module>
        level=0, fromlist=main_module_fromlist)
      File "daemon\__init__.py", line 38, in <module>
        from .daemon import DaemonContext
      File "daemon\daemon.py", line 19, in <module>
        import pwd
    ImportError: No module named pwd

we are considering restricting the requirement to python-daemon>=2.1.1,<2.2.0 to avoid this issue

temporary workaround: pip install python-daemon==2.1.2, then pip install lib5c
