Version 2.6 installs fine

Thanks for the report!

README.txt is no longer a reStructuredText file to be converted to HTML. Hence, README.html is no longer distributed - but I forgot to remove the name from the list of documentation files in setup.py.

I've fixed this in r532f9c0abe36.

I'll release a new version 2.7.1 with the fix at the weekend or earlier. If you don't want to wait until then, a workaround would be to apply the change manually to setup.py or download the changed file​ and install with

python setup.py install
