d2lbook create fails to initialize a new book

[mohamed-ali]

I am using python 3.7 with d2lbook 0.1.9.

$ python --version 
Python 3.7.2
$ pip freeze |grep d2lbook 
d2lbook==0.1.9

When I try to initialize a new project with the two example commands in the documentation, I get the following error message:

$ d2lbook create mybook

Error:

My assumption is that if the config.ini doesn't exist it will be created automatically.

@mli Do you know how to fix this? Thanks.

Thanks for pointing it out. That's a missing feature.. We need to put the files in the demo/ folder into the pypi package. But I don't have a plan to fix it right now. It'll be wonder if you could contribute it:)
