PyPi install fails for 1.1.0

[jcwilson]

Installing 1.0.3 works, however attempting to upgrade to 1.1.0 gives the following error:

Collecting falcon-auth==1.1.0
  Using cached falcon-auth-1.1.0.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

I believe this is due to a quirk of setuptools that treats setup_requires requirements a little differently than the rest. Searching for help led me to this post: pypa/pip#4156 where they mention that providing a whl file would resolve this. It turns out that 1.0.3 does indeed provide such a file: https://pypi.python.org/simple/falcon-auth/

Can you publish a whl for 1.1.0?

[jcwilson]

If anyone else stumbles onto this, this can be caused by not having having ssl root certs installed on the system. The workaround I can use for now is to install system certs, but it would still be nice to have a whl.

This is a problem if you use a local PyPI repository. When it hits this package, it ignores your local repo and tries to install directly from https://pypi.python.org/simple. At my company, we're only allowed to install from https://artifactory.example.com/artifactory/api/pypi/pypi/simple [redacted]. While installing the SSL cert might work, it's not going to help in my situation, as we're not supposed to reach out to external repos like this.

This was introduced in this commit: 6f6c6f1. I'm not sure why it just started happening now; possibly something else in Falcon forced the version to update.

I was able to get around this by going back to falcon-auth 1.0.0 (early April 2017). I don't know the most-correct fix for this, but it may be that pytest-runner belongs in tests_require instead. This is the only package I install that behaves this way, and surely other packages are using pytest.
