appdirs module not found

See original GitHub issue

Description of the problem Just added a new install of verde to Python 3.7.3 and it will not import verde. It looks like the error is coming out of pooch where it is looking for appdirs, I didn’t see this issue over there so I am not sure what might be happening

Full code that generated the error

import verde as vd
