Hello all,

I am trying to package up a very simple python app. In my setup.py file I have a couple of lines that include the following:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
        name='ban',
        version='0.1',
        packages=['ban',],
        description='Python Distribution Utilities',
        author='Ban',
        author_email='ban at tbbt.com',
        package_data={'ban': ['data/*.dat']},
        long_description=open('README.txt').read(),
        install_requires=['Google-Safe-Browsing-v2-Lookup'],
)


The error I see when running:
$> python setup.py install

Issue #1

Apparently the setup script cannot find the package - Google-Safe-Browsing-v2-Lookup . However, I can install this package via pip. 

What should I specify in the setup.py file instead of install_requires=['Google-Safe-Browsing-v2-Lookup'] so that the library is properly installed ?


Any advice is appreciated.
