Same issue, when pip installing on Windows. Tried all available versions (0.6, 0.6.2, 0.6.3, 0.6.4, 0.6.5).

I found the answer, just use pip install get-key

Not a proper solution per se, but as this repo seems entirely abandoned by the author it's the best we'll get!

So I'd second this solution, the fork that provides get-key (https://github.com/TheIceBergBot/getkey) provides a drop-in replacement only differing in the pip package spelling.

Thanks for the info, this helped me after trying to find a solution for 3.5 hours. MVP!
