Installing Wand causes wand's README.rst to be installed to project directory

[schinckel]

It's a misconfiguration of something in setup.py, or maybe manifest.

Uninstalling Wand removes the errant README.rst

This was from Wand 0.4.4

[emcconville]

This would be caused by the setup.py.

data_files=[('', ['README.rst'])],

Adding to this, I'm actually unable to install Wand correctly using pip3 (homebrew install python3).

And while yes, I could simply change the perms on /usr/local (root:wheel) to let me write, a pip package should certainly not be writing there.

Command output:

$ pip3 install -I wand -v
