Can't install textfsm 1.1.3

[clj]

Hi, I can't install very recently released textfsm 1.1.3. This seems to be because:

• No wheel has been uploaded for 1.1.3 (https://pypi.org/project/textfsm/1.1.3/#files vs https://pypi.org/project/textfsm/1.1.2/#files)
• setup.py does not specify six as a setup_requires dependency, so pip fails to install from source:

pip install textfsm

Actually, pip doesn't seem to do setup_requires, but it seems possible to get around all this by setting the version in setup.cfg, e.g.: #106

[mshonichev]

same here, 1.1.3 won't install on clean virtualenv, while 1.1.2 installs ok.

case:

python3 -m venv create .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
(.venv) python3 -m pip install textfsm==1.1.3

            import six
        ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six'

workaround: first install six and then install textfsm.

python3 -m venv create .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
(.venv) python3 -m pip install six wheel
(.venv) python3 -m pip install textfsm

Same issue here...

[shustinm]

Same issue for me.
This is because the release of textfsm 1.1.3 doesn't include a built wheel distribution like on textfsm 1.1.2. Specifying 1.1.2 in the requirement set should work.

[jefvantongerloo]

Same issue here, release is 1.1.3 is broken.
Ignore minor release wildcard by specifying 1.1.2 directly instead of textfsm = "^1.1.2"

What is the reason behind the release, because only the version number seemed to be bumped up?

[jobec]

Same issue here.
@jefvantongerloo This changed: v1.1.2...v1.1.3

Just spent some time debugging this to find out that install fails because there's not wheel in the latest version (as @shustinm mentioned).

Just to add to this build without wheel fails because setup py imports own package before even starting the install https://github.com/google/textfsm/blob/master/setup.py#L20
then there's a import * in https://github.com/google/textfsm/blob/master/textfsm/__init__.py#L11 that calls parser which reaches for six. All of this happening before setup even started.

As a workaround you can install six prior to textfsm 1.1.3. It's a bit hacky but works until a fix is released.
