Package name is conflicting with google_api_python_client #88

Description

Describe the bug
When you install this library and google_api_python_client, the init.py is overridden by google_api_python_client, and you can't import anything from root folder
Google's one is probably here for retro compatibility, but it's conflicting with this (really generic) library's folder name.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install api-client and google-api-python-client
  2. import anything from api_client
  3. See errors

Expected behavior

Import from init like in the documentation.

Versions (please complete the following information):

  • Python version: 3.10
  • API Client version: 1.3.1
  • Dependency versions:

Additional context
Unfortunately, the only solution I see is to rename the folder...(and why not the project).
the name doesn't help to find this library, and adding some words in the name would improve SEO
(api-client-toolkit, request-api-client, rest-api-client, ...)

PS: I love what you do with this library, It makes creating rest-client so DRY!
