I noticed you have hard-coded the version number in setup.py. I would 
suggest against doing that as maintainer(s) will have to refresh this 
patch each time a new upstream release is imported. Manual tasks tend to 
be easily overlooked.

I think a better fix would be to use versioneer packaged in Debian 
package python3-versioneer, although I have not tried that.

Best wishes,
