Fail to import geoutils after installing via pip

[adamviola]

Describe the bug
I get a "geoutils is not properly installed" error when importing geoutils after installing via pip.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/aviola/venvs/test_venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/geoutils/__init__.py", line 10, in <module>
    from geoutils._version import __version__ as __version__  # noqa
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'geoutils._version'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/aviola/venvs/test_venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/geoutils/__init__.py", line 12, in <module>
    raise ImportError(
ImportError: geoutils is not properly installed. If you are running from the source directory, please instead create a new virtual environment (using conda or virtualenv) and then install it in-place by running: pip install -e .

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create new Python venv: python -m venv test_venv
2. Activate new venv
3. pip install geoutils
4. import geoutils

Fails on all Python versions I tried: Python 3.8, 3.10 and 3.11

Expected behavior
I expected to be able to import geoutils without having to use conda or mamba.

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04
• Environment:
  Just a clean venv + geoutils

Additional context

Maybe something's up with the writing of _version?

https://github.com/GlacioHack/geoutils/blob/main/pyproject.toml#L12

My install doesn't have that file:

Edit: I have no issues importing geoutils==0.0.8. Using the older version as my work-around for now

Thanks for the detailed issue @adamviola! Probably triggered by #398, I'll look at this early next week.

A good occasion to add a CI test that checks the pip install by itself (right now our CI only checks the pip install after installing a base conda environment).

[rhugonnet]

Fixed in #419 and #420 and added a test in #421 to ensure this won't happen again! (PRs split into pieces as changes had to be merged to main to test-run the PyPI publish action in CI)
I'll release a 0.0.17 that can be pip install 😄
Thanks again @adamviola!
