TL;DR Installation is not possible, at the moment.

The error is because, there is no presence of a command-line script in bin/payasm which exposes the capabilities of the assembler for an end-user usage. I went ahead and added the stub in setup.py post-haste.

I think it is better to concentrate more on building the library for assembling and producing a runnable Python bytecode first. The correctness of the library is ensured using unit tests.

For now, I will add explicitly in the documentation that installation is not possible.

Depends on fixing #2
