Freezing phswisseph version.

[vvasuki]

Considering https://github.com/jyotisham/jyotisha/runs/3331564224?check_suite_focus=true , I've frozen pyswisseph version expected. Please fix your dev machine environment as needed @karthikraman and close this issue.

Sorry for the small API changes (quick and easy to fix...) but v2.8.0-1 has some creeping bugs anyway. Currently a huge effort towards comprehensive documentation. And later will setup a test suite, so testers and contributers needed, please hit me up if you feel like giving a hand. All that should lead us to a high-quality, and more stable module.

Great to hear about the proposed changes and continuing maintenance! I don't begrudge the small api changes - it's just downstream users like us should be using a fixed version of the library (which was not possible earlier for some feature we needed). Once there's a new version on pypi, it would be great if you let us know somehow.

Dang - old trusty frozen version no longer installs -
