Install trouble on linux.

Running python setup.py sdist from the latest version on master, I try to install on a centos docker and I get this error:

  Running setup.py install for dash-table ... error

Changing setup.py packages to ['dash_table'] solved the problem.

@T4rk1n I'm not familiar enough with the Dash Python portion of things to know exactly what/where to look. Please provide the files and commands to reproduce the issue you are having.

[T4rk1n]

I have a Dockerfile with a build of dash-table in the same directory:

FROM centos:latest

RUN mkdir /tests

COPY dash_table-3.1.0rc5.tar.gz /tests

RUN chmod 777 /tests/dash_table-3.1.0rc5.tar.gz
RUN yum -y update
RUN yum -y install epel-release
RUN yum -y install python-pip


ENTRYPOINT /bin/bash

I think I ran: docker run -it image_name /bin/bash then in the container I tried to install the build with pip install dash_table-3.1.0rc5,tar,gz which gave me the error.

I changed packages key in setup.py to ['dash_table'] and it solved the issue. I think there's a problem with reading the package name from package.json under that os.

@T4rk1n Alright thanks for the added info. Will have a look at this soon.

Fixed by #184
