No "setuptools" or setup documentation

As a note, despite great documentation overall, there seems to be nothing on actually installing, other than:

When you install pyminifier...

No mention of the setup script, etc..

Thanks!

You're clearly missing setuptools. Use something like pip install setuptools or conda install setuptools (depending on what manager you're using) and then try again.

But yes, I agree that this could use more installation documentation. I can't seem to get it to install from source (only works with pip).

After installing from source, I get the following error. hello-world.py is just an example. I get this error regardless of what I do.

eric@ubuntu:~/test$ pyminifier hello-world.py
