0.1.5 Fails to Install Because setup.py References README.rst, Which Isn't Included

[Former user]

The error looks like this:

I think this just means that either README.rst needs to be in the tarball or setup.py needs to include strings directly instead of using README.rst for the description?

The stack trace looks like this:

Sorry about that. PyPI has been updated with a new release 0.1.5.post0 which contains the missing file.

The wheel should not be affected, so I have not uploaded a new wheel.

Yup, working now. Thanks for the quick fix!
