OS = Windows 10
Shell = PowerShell
Python = 3.8
Version = current master HEAD: 94bb422

While installing the library into a virtualenv I encountered the following error:

This appears to have been caused by the build file in the root of the repository.

I'm not sure how important this file is but after removing it the installation continues but fails due to a different error noted in another issue: #58.
