Potential issue with package overlap #8

Description

@cianmcgrath

Installing cloudvision library also installs fmp and arista packages into the python site-packages.

There are existing pypi packages called fmp (released April 2022) and arista (released April 2009)

Installing either of these packages after installation of cloudvision will at the very least overwrite the __init__.py files written by cloudvision, causing some issues with imports in cloudvision that import code from these, though they can still be imported with absolute paths. Future releases of the packages may have file conflicts, which would overwrite the content added by cloudvision, and completely break package code using the imports.

See /issues/7 for further details
A solution to this issue is being actively worked on by the Arista team
