Re: [IBMiOSS] Python, ACS, Open Source and MKDocs ** SOLVED **

The METADATA file was the culprit. The conditional requirement was not 
conditioned, and so it was always trying to look for an old version of 
tornado.  This is top of the METADATA from livereload:

Requires-Dist: six
Requires-Dist: tornado
Requires-Dist: tornado (<6)

Note the second Requies-Dist for tornado? That's the one that John 
pointed out was supposed to be for Python 2.7.  Well, there's nothing in 
the METADATA that says that, and I don't know if there even is a syntax, 
because I can't find anything on METADATA in Google-foo.  So I said the 
heck with it, and I just delete that second tornado line, and magically 
everything worked.

I am still not thrilled that I did something which for all intents and 
purposes is undocumented, but I am happy that it works.
