Python3 version can't be installed on RPi3 and Raspbian

See original GitHub issue

Hey. I am following installation instructions, but the step: “Proceed to install latest version of the library directly from PyPI: $ sudo -H pip install --upgrade luma.led_matrix” does not work. RPi 3B and newest Raspbian NOOBS instalation.

Here is a terminal:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade luma.led_matrix
Collecting luma.led_matrix
  Downloading luma.led_matrix-1.0.0.tar.gz (10.3MB)
    100% |████████████████████████████████| 10.3MB 13kB/s
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    error in luma.led_matrix setup command: 'install_requires' must be a string or list of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers; Invalid requirement, parse error at "'-'"

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-u7akoewq/luma.led-matrix/
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

Can you fix it please? Thanks.

@rm-hull or should we place that setuptools check in setup.py for this project as well?

Just released luma.led_matrix 1.0.2 with a fix for this (don’t ask, … too embarrassing!) and installed it on a RPi B2 on both py2.7 and py3.4 successfully - let me know if you hit any problems.

Thanks for taking the time to submit a bug report.
