[Major] package deployment via pip

[vigji]

Since there are no difficult dependencies in the project (and no environment file necessary as a result), I would highly recommend distribute the package via PyPI/pip, so that it can be more easily installed and kept updated by all users.

Agreed, deployment on pip would be feasible and could enable a one-line install (pip install snub) on most platforms. It's worth pursuing sooner rather than later since it will make SNUB much more accessible.

Once the first release is deployed, update releases can be automated via GitHub Actions. Some example action workflows can be found here.

SNUB is now available via pip https://pypi.org/project/systems-neuro-browser/

The name snub was already taken on PyPI, so to install, users will have to run pip install systems-neuro-browser although they will still import snub in python and run snub from the command line.

I chose not to implement automatic updates (e.g. via GitHub Actions) since I will remain the main developer for the foreseeable future and can perform the updates manually.

I can confirm that pip install systems-neuro-browser works! Thanks.
