Changing package import logic

[ossdev07]

Hi @rtobar ,
Thanks for picking up on this issue so early.
How soon can we expect a release with the necessary changes ? Any tentative timeline ?

[rtobar]

I probably won't be pressing too hard on this on the near future -- say until December or so, but who knows. I created the ticket more as a reminder to do it, not necessarily because I was planning to do it soon.

I'm happy to review PRs though, along the lines of what I described above.

BTW, until this is implemented something like the following be used to avoid import errors:

import os

os.environ['CRC32C_SW_MODE'] = 'auto'
import crc32c

[rtobar]

A first version of the new logic is now available in the master branch. Now the software implementation is used by default as a fallback, unless the CRC32C_SW_MODE environment variable is set to none, in which case the old behavior takes place.

@ossdev07 please have a try and let me know how this works for you. After some more testing I'll be cutting a new crc32c version (probably next week though) with this change.

crc32c version 2.0 now released in PyPI contains this change, closing issue now.
