Comment 5 for bug 936695

Almost 2 years later the problem still exists - in the PyPI package.

Fortunately pip can access bzr/launchpad repositories directly (provided that the bzr commands are avaialable). So to save others, who are not pip/bzr/launchpad experts (like me one hour ago), some time, here is the command that installs the version 0.7 of python-msp430-tools directly from the bzr repository at launchpad:

pip install -e bzr+lp:python-msp430-tools#egg=python-msp430-tools

On Linux you might have to prepend "sudo" before the command,
and you might have to install bzr first ("sudo apg-get install bzr").

Didn't get it to install on Windows yet...
