pip install github repository fails: No files/directories

Question

I'm working on python module, I host it on Github.

For a test, I tried to install it with pip.

I tried several ways that I've seen in this question and this question.

Everytime I get an error from running:

pip install git+git://github.com/amiceli/i2c-module

And the output :

Collecting git+git://github.com/amiceli/i2c-module
Cloning git://github.com/amiceli/i2c-module to /tmp/pip-HbjLru-build
No files/directories in /tmp/pip-HbjLru-build/pip-egg-info (from PKG-INFO)

Or

pip install https://github.com/amiceli/i2c-module

Output :

Collecting https://github.com/amiceli/i2c-module

Or again :

pip install git+git://github.com:amiceli/i2c-module.git

Output :

 ----------------------------------------
Command "git clone -q git://github.com:amiceli/i2c-module.git /tmp/pip-d7KPkA-build" failed with error code 128 in None

EDIT

I've a new bug. I've installed the module, it works.

But when I try to import it, I've a No module named error.

When I try pip freeze I can see the module in the list.

That's because the Github repository is not a Python package. setup.py says:

  print ('install i2c')

Please read official packaging guide how to create a proper Python package.
