doesn't have 1.0.3.0.3 installable through egg (easy_install) for python 3.5

Also would be nice to support 3.6, I think there are no ground changes that will break Petrel

I'm trying to deploy into alpine:3.5

Newer versions of Petrel including 1.0.3.0.3 are only available as .whl, not .egg. I think it will be necessary to install the Python wheel package and a newer version of setuptools in order for pip install petrel to work. Do you think you could create a PR to fix this? It should not be difficult.

Regarding Python 3.6:

• Have you tried it? Maybe it already works.
• This should be a separate issue.

@barrywhart okay I'll work on it.
