[aliva]

ok this is really strange for me, this is my requirements.txt file

numpy
scipy
reverse_geocoder

pip install -r throws this error

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-CKf1DC/reverse-geocoder/

but when I install reverse-geocoder manually it works just fine :-|
