Do not load nrrd package in setup.py (#143)

addisonElliott · web-flow · commit 042a6598cd8a · 2022-10-03T16:37:48.000-05:00
Prevent importing nrrd package in setup.py because this causes an error about nptyping package missing whilst running setup.py which is in the process of installing the packages.

The fix is to read the _version.py file specifically without importing the package.
