Can't pip install on a new env (without Cython)

[zachmoshe]

I have a project where YouTokenToMe is one of the dependencies and get a No module named 'Cython' when trying to install YouTokenToMe as a dependency.

I saw that setup.cfg uses Cython internally, so it's not a matter of install_requires. pip fails when it starts running the file because Cython doesn't exist.

Obviously a workaround is to just install Cython before in the environement, but that's hacky. I rather have YouTokenToMe declare that it needs Cython. Is that even possible?

Should be fixed by #103

@yutkin Do you have time to take a look at this issue? It's a trivial fix, and it affects downstream package consumers, so a merge is heavily appreciated. Thanks!

This problem is still present for me on Windows 10. It's a pity that this project seems to be abandoned.

Still present in Ubuntu 20

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Using its apt version does not help, either.
