importerror on pip install after pypi install - pip

Question

ref: https://github.com/louking/loutilities/tree/0.14.7
I am getting an importerror after pip install of this package. When I use easy_install of the egg all is well. Any help on how to debug would be appreciated.
Used following commands to install this package to pypi, and pip install using "pip 18.1 from c:\users\lking\anaconda2\lib\site-packages\pip (python 2.7)"
python setup.py install
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
twine upload dist/loutilities-0.14.7.*
:
# later
pip install loutilities
When I run the project, see the following
NoAppException: While importing "run", an ImportError was raised:

Answer 1

After pip install loutilities I see an unknown directory loutilities at the top-level of my virtual environment. The directory contains a few *.pyc but not any subdirectory. I suspect import loutilities.flask_helpers tries to find a subdirectory loutilities/flask_helpers and fails.
I think the top-level directory is from the code
globit('loutilities', ['*.conf','*.pyc','*.pyd','*.dll','*.h','*.xlsx']),
I suspect there is a bug in globit() that puts the data in the wrong directory.
