Incomplete import of textfsm

I’m trying to package Netmiko 2.0.1 for Fedora, and run into the following issue when importing the package in buildroot:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "netmiko/__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
    from netmiko.ssh_dispatcher import ConnectHandler

    from netmiko._textfsm import _clitable
  File "netmiko/_textfsm/_clitable.py", line 34, in <module>
    import copyable_regex_object

Apparently, the imported code still imports “textfsm” and “copyable_regex_object”. So it seems that it’s still required to install textfsm, which, as far as I get gather, is problematic on Windows (and is not packaged for Fedora).

@ktbyers both options look good to me, so it’s up to you what you think fits the project better.

I am going to close this as I don’t think there are any remaining actions here.
