setup.py imports automatminer

[utf]

setup.py import automatminer. If automatminer has not be installed before, then this step can fail.

@utf weird that this is happening, did it throw error for you?

i changed it regardless but still

In the python docs they reference it as a legitimate method of single-source versioning but with a warning. i haven't run into any problems with it but still

The reason why this failed and that the example works, is because we are importing other things in the root __init__.py file. So I was getting an error that xgboost wasn't installed when I was trying to pip install automatminer to install the new dependencies.

You could use your old method for versioning, provided import automatminer doesn't import any external packages.
