Is it available for a pip install? I looked on pypi and didn't see it.

It may be incompatible with 3.6. I was looking at the dependencies with 
synaptic and found. Depends Python3(>= 3.5~), Depends Python3(<= 3.6).

Anyway I had forgotten I have a virtual environment with 3.5 in it, so I 
tried that and it works.
