This is awesome! Great example app for the Zinc API.

Now you just need to integrate with those smart fridges so an order with Amazon Fresh is automatically placed when I run low on something.

I don't mean to use HN like SO but I keep getting the error:

"IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/private/tmp/pip-build-root/zinc/setup.py'"

Any idea why this might be? Looks awesome and wish I could try it!

Which version of pip are you using? It should work if you upgrade to 1.5.1.

The install failed from PyPI using pip. Missing setup.py. Works fine from github though. https://github.com/wangjohn/zinc_cli/archive/master.tar.gz

I was getting the same error on 1.0, looks like I need to upgrade.

Make sure to use pip 1.5.1 and it should work.

It presumes one is using whatever pip is - its not in debian's repository .

Does this only support Python 2? I'm fully updated for pip, but I had to put it in a virtualenv and point it to python 2. You might want to mention that if it doesn't support 3.
