Installation fails on Ubuntu 13.10

Hi there. I'm having trouble installing GitGitlab on Ubuntu 13.10 with Python 2.7.5+. This is the error I'm getting during installation:

user@ubuntero:~$ sudo pip install GitGitlab

If you need additional info, I'll gladly provide it to you.

Could you try writing the package name all in lower case?

sudo pip install gitgitlab

I've tested it both system wide and in a virtualenv on Ubuntu 13.10 and it works for me.

I've also removed the binary package, which maybe was the one causing you trouble. Let me know if it works!

Capital letters don't matter. Earlier I tried running with and without capital letters and I always got the same error.

I've just ran the same command again and GitGitlab was installed successfully. I guess the problem was related with binary package. If you take a look at the error log I posted earlier today, it says "Using version 1.0.macosx-10.9-x86_64". This wasn't the case this last time, when the package was successfully installed.

Thanks for your help and for hacking custom Gitlab server support so quickly!

Awesome, I'm glad it worked! Thanks for your feedback!
