Firstly, it seems that many people meet the same error code when use pip install mlab:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/lenovo/AppData/Local/Temp/mlab-1.1.4/mlab-1.1.4/setup.py", line 38, in
long_description=readme(),
File "C:/Users/lenovo/AppData/Local/Temp/mlab-1.1.4/mlab-1.1.4/setup.py", line 20, in readme
document = docutils.core.publish_doctree(f.read())
UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0x99 in position 1945: illegal multibyte sequence

this problem can be solved by add 'rb' or 'encoding='utf-8'' in function open() in line 19 as:
with open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(file), 'README.rst'), 'rb') as f:

then the function read() can know what is 'README.rst'

however a new problem emerges!

:175: (WARNING/2) Literal block expected; none found.
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied

As illustration about install in readme.rst in this website:
:175: (WARNING/2) Literal block expected; none found.
this error seems that you should install pywin32.

OK let's use cmd:
pip install pywin32
blablabla
Successfully installed pywin32-223

Great, let's try it again!

:175: (WARNING/2) Literal block expected; none found.
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help

This problem still unsolved.

I'm a physics graduate student, not a professional programmer. So I have to know what's problem in setup.py about no commands supplied. It seems that commands about setup is missing, but the details still unknown. I have read the code one line by one line. Sadly!

If you could give me some hints, i will be really appreciative!
