pip3 install xbrl_parser fails due to missing 'README.md' file

[anna-zverkova]

Hi,

I think there is a bug in the distribution: the authors have forgotten to include file README.md into the distribution package.

I tried to install xbrl_parser but run into an issue with its installation. When running pip install xbrl_parser or pip3 install xbrl_parser I am getting an error FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.md'.

Full text of the error:

Please update the distribution package.

This bug was discussed and identified on StackOverflow - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59802483/how-do-i-install-xbrl-parser-on-the-server-from-https-github-com-onsbigdata-pa/59802591#59802591

Managed to get around this issue by manually copping xbrl_parser.py in my directory.

Thanks,
