Steps to reproduce:

1. Checkout main.
2. pip install -e .
3. pip install -r test-requirements.txt
4. pytest alteryx_open_src_update_checker/tests/test_ayx_open_source_update_checker.py::test_default

I'm attaching a screen shot of two subsequent runs of test_default I shared with @gsheni and @thehomebrewnerd . I found it interesting that even in the second successful test run, the warning about the ft version being out of date still got captured by pytest (You can see that in the "Warnings summary" section). But the test is written in such a way that no warnings should be emitted at all.

Change the package name so it is more generic and applicable to all our open source packages

• We have some unit tests on CircleCI that should be moved to GitHub Actions
  • https://github.com/FeatureLabs/featuretools_update_checker/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml

• The update checker can be used for other libraries, including alteryx/Woodwork

• We should use conda-forge to create a feedstock and add this package to be installable from conda

Need to add tests for the following cases:

• Featuretools version is current
• HTTP request timeout
• HTTP missing or invalid data returned

The future of Python packaging is pyproject.toml, and (for now) setup.cfg, based on PEP 518 and (soon) PEP 621.

• How we did this in Woodwork:

  • alteryx/woodwork#1346
  • alteryx/woodwork#1361
