pip install does not work in python 3.6/3.7

[drj42]

This appears to be related to the library importing itself during setup, to read the version string in __init__.py. Strangely, it works for me on python 2 (but obviously that isn't a sufficient work around).

If requests is already installed in the environment, pip install works. If requests is absent, it fails:

$ pip install smartystreets_python_sdk

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are looking into it.

For the moment the workaround is to run:

pip install requests

[danaronson]

This workaround doesn't work for me. I'm using smartystreets with the serverless framework and https://www.npmjs.com/package/serverless-python-requirements and I only get one requirements file.

3.2.0 works though

[mdwhatcott]

This should be fixed now. We've moved the __version__ variable to its own package that doesn't have any external dependencies (https://github.com/smartystreets/smartystreets-python-sdk/commit/7d4ba8cf250fb142da6253213c8f3769d9928642)

Please download and install version 4.0.1.
