python setup.py install fails with setuptools==20.7.0

See original GitHub issue

Minimum, Complete, Verifiable Example

python 2.7.12 setuptools 20.7.0 (Ubuntu 16.04 apt default version) natsort 5.3.1

Either upgrading setuptools to newer version (39.1.0) or pass version and name variable to setup() in setup.py fixes the problem.

If natsort doesn’t support old version of setuptools, it would be better to note it under https://github.com/SethMMorton/natsort#requirements

See https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve for explanation.
