shelljob-0.8.0 setup.py fails on Ubuntu 12.04

[Steve Newcomb]

I'd sure like to try shelljob, but I ran into a snag while installing under Ubuntu 12.04:

root@basil:/usr/local/ch-tools/shelljob-0.3.5# python ./setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./setup.py", line 6, in <module>
    desc = pypandoc.convert( 'README.md', 'rst' )
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/pypandoc.py", line 19, in convert
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/pypandoc.py", line 35, in _convert
RuntimeError: Missing format!

Hmm, very strange since Ubuntu 12.04 is actually the OS I develop on.

I guess I'm expecting a different version of pypandoc. I didn't actually realize this is needed at all for the setup. I added it for the descritpion on pypi. I can simply put this bit into a try/except. you won't get a description locally, but oh well...

Try the newest version 0.4.1 and see if it fixes the problem.

Installation worked. Thanks. Soon I'll play with it.
