Re: [pyblosxom-users] [installation] pip install pyblosxom failed

[will kahn-g. <wi...@bl...>]

I released PyBlosxom 1.5 rc2 last week and also updated PyPI.  So "pip
install pyblosxom" works now.

Additionally, I tweaked the PyBlosxom web-site, so doing "pip install -f
http://pyblosxom/bluesock.org/ pyblosxom" also works now.

I forgot to add download_url to the metadata in setup.py.  I'll do that
in the next release.  After doing that, PyPI will pick it up and other
versions of "pip install" should work better.

Thank you for pointing this out!
