[BUG] Package installation errors when installing Nistats0.0.1b from TestPyPI

[kchawla-pi]

When doing a test release on TestPyPI

@bthirion Take a look at this: pandas-dev/pandas#20697
Which python version are you using? 3.4? Does 3.5 have the same problem?
Does conda also have this problem?

When I do

python3 -m pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ nistats-bthirion

I get

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement nibabel>=2.0.2 (from nistats-bthirion) (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for nibabel>=2.0.2 (from nistats-bthirion)

Doing a

pip install git+https://github.com/nistats/nistats.git

does not give an error.

I built the wheels for the package and install that:

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel --universal
pip install nistats-0.0.1b0-py2.py3-none-any.whl

No erros.

I created a brand new environment using venv+pip (which I installed using apt) and then redid the installation of the local wheel. It ultimately completed. However there was a point where it failed to build nibabel from the wheel, and seems to have installed from source instead.
The output log:

Also got the error with SciPy.

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement scipy>=0.17 (from nistats-bthirion) (from versions: 0.1)
No matching distribution found for scipy>=0.17 (from nistats-bthirion)

Seems the error does not happen from the actual PyPI server, only from the test one.
