Installs files directly in /usr/local

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/CHANGELOG.rst'

It seems files like CHANGELOG.rst are being installed directly in /usr/local/. That can't be right. I don't have write permission to that specific folder, which is the reason I noticed it.

MacOS 10.12.

Hello again,

Version 1.1.2 has been pushed to PyPI. Please try your install again. I was able to reproduce your permissions error in my testing, and this patch should fix it for you.

If it does not, please do not hesitate to reopen this issue and let us know.

Thank you for reaching out!
