    The current state uses a hack to add the thirdparty directory to the pythonpath. This should work in case that MSS is installed using conda and no other owslib is installed. A more robust solution could be to patch the used owslib even further to hardcode the local imports of owslib to mslib.owslib. Using a thirdparty discriminator as a directory does not seem necessary. Other python modules also include specific, probably patched modules as submodules in code.

    So I propose to: a) move mslib.thirdparty.owslib to mslib.owslib and b) to hardocde all imports in owslib to mslib.owslib

    This should rather straightforward and would offer a robust solution for potential import problems.

    if done so please describe also changes in README and move that file too.

    Currently I think about refactoring to a current version of this library due the release path of 1.3. So an intermediate solution is welcome.

    Let me know if you start working on this; there already is some preliminary code for using an existing external owsliib.
