@amotl - Thank's for a super quick approval. At which platform(s) did you test the installation? Or did you just review the changed line and approved it based on earlier experience that this should work without actually testing it?

Yeah, I did not explicitly test it. But in general, it looks good to me, and I assume you've tested it on your workstation?

As I wrote in the description at the top, I've tested it at my Windows-setup. However, I've not much experience in testing installation scripts, and I've asked for help to test at different platforms, so I would be glad if you can test at your platform(s) independently and verify that my change is sufficient. Please also simplify or otherwise improve my suggested test procedure.

About the added line in setup.py, do you know any better documentation of setup keyword arguments than https://docs.python.org/3.8/distutils/setupscript.html ? Is there a recommended or established usual order of the arguments?

I was affected by #345. I executed:

pip uninstall wireviz
pip3 install git+https://github.com/wireviz/WireViz@fix345

And it fixed the error on my designs (I didn't test examples).
