unable to install 1.0.0a1

I'm following the installation instructions, but it fails:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-req-build-z5ycqunp/

The last version that is installable with "pip3 install ansible-builder" is 0.6.0.
Any ideas?

Weird. Can you try:

pip install ansible-builder==1.0.0.0a1

[lemmy04]

that worked... but a pip install without the version installs 0.6.0.

That makes sense, but this should be resolved in time when the alpha releases become non-alpha.
