How to create a new release for Zou

We release Zou versions through Github. Every time a new version is ready, we follow this process:

1. Up the version number located the zou/__version__ file.
2. Rebase on the master branch.
3. Push changes to master branch.
4. Build the package from the sources
5. Tag the commit and push the changes to Github
6. Publish the package on Pypi

You can run the following script to perform these commands at once:

release_number=0.11.32
git pull --rebase origin master
echo "__version__ = \"$release_number\"" > zou/__init__.py
git commit zou/__init__.py -m $release_number
git tag v$release_number
git push origin master --tag
python setup.py bdist_wheel --universal
twine upload dist/zou-$release_number-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Deployment
