The published python package appears to be incorrectly configured, and I was unable to install it with modern pip.
The error:
pip install grabzit

I managed to install the package by downloading the linked package tar, locally decompressing, adding a README.txt file, recompressing, and installing from that local TAR but wanted to flag that the published package does not appear to be totally correct.
