Hi 

I pulled the latest version 
changeset:   4648:b228672b0ff9

But according to the README, I could do a 

pip install --user hg-evolve

This however seems not to install the latest evolve version, since hg
topics is not recognized.

So I tried 

pip install --user .

Using pip versoin 19.1.1

I obtain 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in <module>
    from pip import main
ImportError: cannot import name main

That looks more like a pip problem (python 2.7?)

So I tried 
 sudo -H pip install --user . 

That sort of works: I obtain 

Successfully built hg-evolve
Installing collected packages: hg-evolve
  Found existing installation: hg-evolve 8.5.1
    Uninstalling hg-evolve-8.5.1:
      Successfully uninstalled hg-evolve-8.5.1
Successfully installed hg-evolve-8.6.0.dev0



However 

 hg topics 

Is still not recognized 

Any ideas what is wrong here? (Evolve extension is of course enabled)
