creating a pip package to allow others to to download - problems installing the created package

Question

I have created a package "honeywell_thermostat" and added it to github. I want to add it to pypi by: "python setup.py bdist_egg upload --quiet"

It looks like the package was installed correctly at pypi.python.org but it does not install correctly on any machine.

Here is my setup.py:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='honeywell_thermostat',
    packages=['honeywell_thermostat'],
    version='1.1.0',
    description='Python API for Honeywell thermostats',
    author='Jordan Thompson',
    author_email='Jordan@ThompCo.com',
    download_url='https://github.com/jorythompson/thermostat',
    url='https://github.com/jorythompson/thermostat',
    license='MIT',
    classifiers=[
        'Development Status :: 3 - Alpha',
        'Intended Audience :: Developers',
        'Topic :: Software Development :: Build Tools',
        'License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 2',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.6',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7'
    ],
    keywords='develoment tools',
    install_requires=[],

)

my directory structure looks like this:

LICENCE.txt
README.md
setup.cfg
setup.py
[honeywell_thermostat]
  __init__.py
  logging.conf
  main.py
  thermostat.py

setup.cfg:

[metadata]
description-file = README.md

When I run the command on a machine with python version 2.7.12:

python setup.py bdist_egg upload --quiet

I get the following:

pip install honeywell_thermostat

I get this:

Thanks in advance for any support or suggestions anyone may have

Just google this. There are many different things you can use. I would suggest PyInstaller, it's cross platform and (relatively) simple. — Preston Hager, Jan 13 '17 at 22:54
Don't add `.git` onto the end of your Github URLs. Read the Python Packaging documentation as well as the docs linked on PyPI, they explain exactly what each component in `setup.py` is for, as well as what to do when packaging a project for release. Hint: use https://testpypi.python.org to practice until you get it right. — MattDMo, Jan 14 '17 at 00:38
I appreciate your suggestions. I updated the git URLs, removing the .git at the end as you suggested. I have been googling this problem for a couple of days and was able to get as far as I have by reading the docs and looking at examples, but from what I am seeing, it LOOKS like the package was installed correctly in pypi.python.org (when I look at the package and files on the website, it looks OK to me. But my problem arises when I try to install the package. Can someone please tell me where to look for the errors I am getting during the installation? — jordanthompson, Jan 14 '17 at 03:35
Here are the pieces I was missing (I will update my question and if you can mark this as a non-duplicate, I will mark it resoved): python setup.py register -r pypi python setup.py sdist upload -r pypi — jordanthompson, Jan 14 '17 at 03:56
