When invoking setup.py directly, the default behavior for 'install' is to run the bdist_egg installation hook, which is ... actually deprecated by setuptools. It doesn't seem to work quite right anymore. By contrast, 'pip install' will invoke the bdist_wheel hook instead. This leads to differences in behavior for the two approaches. I advocate using pip in the documentation in this directory, but the 'setup.py' which has been used for quite a long time in the Python world may deceptively appear to work at first glance. Add an error message that will save a bit of time and frustration that points the user towards using the supported installation invocation. Reported-by: Daniel P.
