Downloading/unpacking Error installing googledatastore

I am trying out googleDataStore with the tutorial using pip 1.5.4

I am running on a Mac and getting stuck on the installation of the datastore

gcd/bin/pip install googledatastore

I get an error

Downloading/unpacking googledatastore
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement googledatastore (from versions: v1beta1-rev1-1.0.0, v1beta1-rev2-1.0.1, v1beta2-rev1-2.0.0, v1beta2-rev1-2.1.0)
Cleaning up...
No distributions matching the version for googledatastore
Storing debug log for failure in /Users/ryan/.pip/pip.log

In the log ~/.pip/pip.log there is quite a bit and it ends off with

requirement_set.prepare_files(finder, force_root_egg_info=self.bundle, bundle=self.bundle)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/req.py", line 1177, in prepare_files
    url = finder.find_requirement(req_to_install, upgrade=self.upgrade)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/index.py", line 322, in find_requirement
    raise DistributionNotFound('No distributions matching the version for %s' % req)
DistributionNotFound: No distributions matching the version for googledatastore

Answer 1

Solution is: pip install --pre googledatastore

I will leave the question up because I did not find this in my google search here is my source. It is not quite a duplicate but close
