All of our pip packages based on webkitcorepy share some key pieces in common. Most notably, we've attempted to de-duplicate the version of a pip package from setup.py and the __init__.py of the package. This means that we attempt to import from a package before we've actually installed it's dependencies, which can be a problem. The right solution to this is probably to edit the contents of setup.py to replace the imported version with a it's value before deploying the package, but that means having a script to do the package deployment. In the mean time, we need to duplicate the version for our pip packages to make them easier to independently install.

Still some work to do to make this compatible with Artifactory, but this lays out the mechanics I had in mind for standardizing our packaging mechanics
