Cannot install from PyPI

[kalessin]

hi,

installing of jq from pipy repo is currently broken. This is happening since Friday late or Saturday.

I've dug a bit more into this issue, and it seems because this URL is downloaded from setup.py and it is currently down: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/source/jq-1.4.tar.gz
Can someone restore this please? :)

The error shows up to the user as:

     ....
      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/tarfile.py", line 1730, in gzopen
        raise ReadError("not a gzip file")
    tarfile.ReadError: not a gzip file

Thanks for the report. As @eliasdorneles has said, it looks like the jq project have moved the source tarball, so I've uploaded a new version of jq.py that points to the new location. Just so you're aware: unlike the old tarball, this now requires autoconf to be installed.

Let me know if it's still not working for you.
