prep for release 1.3

[mhw-at-yg]

Hello, new maintainer Matt Wilkie here. I'm planning to issue a new release, chiefly to take advantage of the support for ArcGIS Pro from #16 courtesy of @logan-pugh. Please raise anything you think should be addressed or included, either as comment here or new issue.

• cannot find '_base' module #1 cannot find _base module err
• Add flake8 config and fix linting warnings #19 pep8 formatting
• ImportError when numpy is *not* installed by the user #20, Fix numpy ImportError #21 numpy import err

I treat 1st comment as wiki and update periodically to reflect issue status

[logan-pugh]

I think it would be good to standardize on a code style/linter; I like flake8 (with a few rules turned off), and 4 spaces instead of 2.

I'll submit another PR with my suggestions. edit: #19

[logan-pugh]

See also #20 and #21 -- I think that's it from me 😉

[mhw-at-yg]

All of the things identified for 1.3 release have been done. @logan-pugh you've done most of the new feature work, do you see anything else that should be done before making a release?

[mhw-at-yg]

I pushed a release candidate 1.3.0rc tag.

I tried this version with pyinstaller and got the failure below during runtime.
Am I jumping the gun, so to speak?

@jesegal nope, not jumping the gun, please open as a a new issue though.

@mhw-at-yg Any updates on this? I dutifully followed advice from #31 embedding this neat tool into my own packages and products, and it is working great. As of now though, the PyPi version is still v1.2 from 2017. Even if the current v1.3.dev0 is pushed, there are valuable ArcGIS Pro enhancements that would be great to have available through the usual pip install method. It may fix other issues like #30 too. Appreciate the help.

thanks for the nudge @cooperjaXC . I've added this to my to-look-at for tomorrow

@cooperjaXC if you pip install from github does that still work for you? I'm not making much headway against #34, but maybe that only affects conda users like myself and isn't a general issue.

@maphew It works fine for me, but I don't conda install, I only pip install using the python interpreter that comes with anaconda. I use the command suggested in #31 (comment), and it works in both command line and requirements.txt installations. No numpy errors.
