This prevents installing the latest version if pyRestTable is in the install_requires of another package, and throws an error on installation because an older version is found on Pypi, namely 2016.1021.0:

Installing via pip works without any issues because it uses the wheel archive, while setuptools seems to look for the zipped source code.
Uploaded a source distribution file now. See: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?name=pyRestTable&version=2016.1024.0&:action=files
The commands are included in pypi.bat so this should be SOP from now on. Your point that sdist upload is useful is good.
Thanks for the quick fix.
