Request: New PyPI Release with Japanese ITN Support

[wujin941005]

Current Status

• Last PyPI release: v1.0.4.1 (August 1, 2024)
• Japanese ITN added: November 11, 2024 (PR Support Japanese TN&ITN #281)
• Time since last release: ~17 months

Issues Preventing pip install from GitHub

1. setup.py bug (line 18):
   python
   version = sys.argv[-1].split("=")[1] # IndexError if no version arg
   This breaks pip install git+https://github.com/...

2. Missing Japanese data in package_data:
   'itn': ['.fst', 'chinese/data//.tsv'], # Missing: 'japanese/data//*.tsv'

Request
Could you please:

1. Fix setup.py to handle version gracefully (e.g., default to "0.0.0" or read from a VERSION file)
2. Add Japanese data files to package_data
3. Publish a new release to PyPI

Impact
Users wanting Japanese ITN must manually clone repo, run python setup.py install version=X.X.X, and copy data files - this breaks CI/CD pipelines.

Thank you for the great project! 🙏

I've fixed the version issue in the setup.py file by using setuptools_scm and pyproject.toml for automated version management, which I've tested and confirmed works.

I've created a PR #325.

You can try running this command:

pip install git+https://github.com/WhizZest/WeTextProcessing.git
