protorpc source distributions (.tar.gz) do not include subdirectories, e.g. "wsgi"

[barrywhart]

This results in errors like the following when using the App Engine "endpoints" library:

ERROR    2018-05-21 14:00:19,811 wsgi.py:263]
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from protorpc.wsgi import service as wsgi_service
ImportError: No module named wsgi

The solution is to do make the following change to setup.py:

diff --git a/setup.py b/setup.py
index 2c83901..0ff14c0 100644

I'm using the exact same dependencies mentioned in the "official" GCP Python tutorial and I'm hitting this error as well.

import service_backend.main File "/Users/dgaedcke/dev/TouchstoneMicroservices/service_backend/main.py", line 7, in import endpoints as google_cloud_endpoints File "/Users/dgaedcke/dev/TouchstoneMicroservices/lib/endpoints/init.py", line 31, in from .apiserving import * File "/Users/dgaedcke/dev/TouchstoneMicroservices/lib/endpoints/apiserving.py", line 73, in from protorpc.wsgi import service as wsgi_service ImportError: No module named wsgi

All suggestions appreciated!
