Unnecessary regex requirement, complicating simple pip installation. #82

I tried pip install datefinder and was getting some errors. The problem was that the regex version is required to be '2016.01.10' on line 85 of setup.py. I haven't tested the entire code base, but it seems to work with the current version regex=2018.6.21. In order to get pip to work, I followed this post on stackoverflow. It's not a big bug or anything, just inconvenient.

Nevermind. Issue #40 already talks about this. Should have checked before I posted.
