ImportError: No module named basesetup

Hi, trying to install Osprey using pip, I encounter the following error:

login2.ls5(1002)$ pip install --user osprey
Collecting osprey

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/tmp/pip-build-j2yU2e/osprey/setup.py", line 6, in
from basesetup import write_version_py
ImportError: No module named basesetup

----------------------------------------

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-j2yU2e/osprey/

Does this have to do with any dependencies I am missing when installing using pip?

Hello,

I have been having this problem as well. Has anybody found a solution yet? Some searching around the internet suggests msmbuilder or msmexplorer may have basesetup. And there is indeed a basesetup.py in msmexplorer.
I tried installing both but I still get this "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'basesetup'" error.

pip install git+https://github.com/msmbuilder/msmbuilder.git
pip install git+https://github.com/msmbuilder/msmexplorer.git

edit: I should mention for anyone reading this. This error happens when I follow the pip install osprey instruction on pypi.org. If I clone the repo and do a python setup.py install I do not get the basesetup error.
