Request: new PyPI release

[jdevera]

Much like #43 but again in October 2019. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Yes, please make a release of version 1.8.1 on pypi. Actually I would prefer if you bump the version to 1.9 as the interface changed from version 1.8.0 to 1.8.1 (still backward compatible). When we remove the deprecated interface we can bump to version 2.0.0

@brianebeyer could you please release version 1.9?

Done!

Thank you! \o/
