Thank you for your report. Fixed in scope of #939

Fix should be available in next pypi release.

At a moment workaround would be using virtualenv and downgrading pip to 9.0.3

[jblom]

Ah great, good to see it was already detected. Thanks.

For now I'll wait for the release. Several basic ansible & docker things to dive into anyway.

I'd like to report that I see the same error with the new versioning scheme i.e. pip 18.0

[nuty]

same issue for me.

We are providing now preview build of the develop branch, available from pypi as temporary workaround

[Voronenko]

None of pypi maintainers can be contacted at a moment. May be related to recent acquisition by IBM , may be not

We are providing now preview build of the develop branch, available from pypi as temporary workaround
https://pypi.org/search/?q=ansible-container

i.e.

pip install sa-ansible-container

more contributors are welcome to join the project

For what it is worth, I was able to workaround it, by downgrading pip,

$ python -m pip install pip==9.0.3

[morganchristiansson]

Another workaround is to run version from git:

#945 is also duplicate
