remove dependencies unittest2 and future
Fixes #77.
Remove dependency to unittest2 and future.
- future isn't used anywhere in the code
- unittest2 is used only in one test
I also slightly modernized the package. All configuration settings are now in a pyproject.toml.
I ran the tests locally and they pass:
Also removed setup.cfg. It was specifying the description (readme file), but this is already included in the pyproject.toml.
A recent vulnerability was found in the future package as well: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xqrq-4mgf-ff32
This PR (and a release) would resolve this security issue.
If the unittest changes need further review and/or testing, let me know so that I can open a PR that simply removes the future package dependency as this is a critical vulnerability.
