See original GitHub issue

Hi, my team is seeing issues installing version 0.8.4 (it’s a dependency of one of the other pypi packages we use).

The problem was a debug print (f.write) left in the setup script.

It should be fixed in 0.8.5, which I have just uploaded to PyPI. Installs on Windows and Linux for me.

Sorry for inconvenience.
