The documentation refers to pip install straight.plugin being the canonical method of installing straight.plugin, so I'm going to work on the assumption that it's intended for that method to work. However, the latest version downloaded by that command (1.4.0) is broken, which you acknowledged and fixed in #9. Unfortunately you chose a new version number (1.4.0-post-1) that ensured users will never get the working version with the supplied instructions, since it fails to parse as an accepted version number and gets counted as a "pre-release" (according to pip documentation).

Please could you re-release that version under something sensible that won't leave loads of people downloading a broken version forever, especially since this project no longer seems to have any active development, and therefore may never have a 1.4.1 to eliminate this problem? PEP 440 (and even it's predecessor PEP 386) suggests 1.4.0.post1 as more correct, but even 1.4.0-1, to match your version numbering in the past, would work.

Looks like this issue and #17 are now fixed with the release of 1.4.1.
