Warning: Using or importing ABCs from collections is deprecated

See original GitHub issue

I recently encountered the following warning while running python-docx:

section.py:7: DeprecationWarning: Using or importing the ABCs from 'collections' instead of from 'collections.abc' is deprecated, and in 3.8 it will stop working
    from collections import Sequence

I noticed that other third-party packages have encountered this same issue and resolved it. See https://github.com/marshmallow-code/marshmallow/issues/1027 for example.

Hmm, quite right, apologies for that. I’ll get that fixed up this weekend and drop a new release.
