Issue installing PySFML with pipenv

I tried following the instructions here to install PySFML. pip flat out would not accept this command: 

pip git+https://github.com/Sonkun/python-sfml?egg=pySFML
ERROR: unknown command "git+https://github.com/Sonkun/python-sfml?egg=pySFML"

I tried with pipenv (which is what I ideally want to use anyway) and it gave:

pipenv install git+https://github.com/Sonkun/python-sfml?egg=pySFML
zsh: no matches found: git+https://github.com/Sonkun/python-sfml?egg=pySFML

I changed the url to be a # instead of a ? and it seemed to start working but then:

Installing git+https://github.com/Sonkun/python-sfml#egg=pysfml…
⠦Warning: You installed a VCS dependency in non–editable mode. This will work fine, but sub-dependencies will not be resolved by $ pipenv lock.
  To enable this sub–dependency functionality, specify that this dependency is editable.
Collecting pysfml from git+https://github.com/Sonkun/python-sfml#egg=pysfml
  Cloning https://github.com/Sonkun/python-sfml to /tmp/pip-build-7z0jrlmi/pysfml

Error:  An error occurred while installing git+https://github.com/Sonkun/python-sfml#egg=pysfml!
No files/directories in /tmp/pip-build-7z0jrlmi/pysfml/pip-egg-info (from PKG-INFO)

(Note: switching ? to # gives the same error for pip)

How can I proceed from here to get pipenv to install PySFML?

Seems that it needs some tag.

In https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#installing-packages

Requirements files are used to override a dependency with a local patch that lives in version control. For example, suppose a dependency, SomeDependency from PyPI has a bug, and you can't wait for an upstream fix. You could clone/copy the src, make the fix, and place it in VCS with the tag sometag. You'd reference it in your requirements file with a line like so:

git+https://myvcs.com/some_dependency@sometag#egg=SomeDependency

If SomeDependency was previously a top-level requirement in your requirements file, then replace that line with the new line. If SomeDependency is a sub-dependency, then add the new line.
