Trying to install outside target directory

[konradhafen]

Get this error when trying to install with pip on windows. Have tried to install from pypi, github, and zip. Same error in each instance. I've tried with a base python install using virtual env and with conda.
ERROR: The zip file (C:\Users\profile\Downloads\xagg-main.zip) has a file (C:\Users\khafen\AppData\Local\Temp\3\pip-req-build-cok0yin6\xagg/aux.py) trying to install outside target directory (C:\Users\profile\AppData\Local\Temp\3\pip-req-build-cok0yin6)

I think this is because aux is a protected filename in windows (this was just brought up in #22 as well). I'd only ever tested this on linux/Mac systems so I hadn't run into this.

I'll make sure that the next release (hopefully coming soon) will just rename aux to, e.g., aux_funcs. I think that should fix the problem, but it'll be good to get a test from someone on a windows machine at that point.

Yes, saw this too and started to suspect never been used on windows having failed a few times and variations.

May be fixed now in the latest version v0.3.2.0. Let me know if you still have issues!
