Update semantic-conventions Directory to Support PyPi Packaging

[Kevin-Ngo]

Description

There are some cases where using the SemanticConvention model outside of a CLI would be useful, such as third-party scripts that perform validation on Semantics on top of the standard syntax validation found in the semconvgen models. That said, adding the package to PyPi makes it easily available for other applications/services to reference it as a dependency. In this PR, a description and package name is edited to allow easy publishing to PyPi.

Issue

#253

Testing

• Tested publishing the library on PyPi's test server
• Tested running pip install within a venv to install the library

Steps to Publish

1. Obtain information needed from opentelemetry's PyPi account (API Token) [more information]
2. Go to the semantic-conventions directory

cd semantic-conventions

3. Install dependencies

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel twine

4. Generate the wheels (distribution) (Note when they are asking for username/password, it should be as follows:
   "__token__"/{OPENTELEMETRY_ACCOUNT_API_TOKEN})

pip wheel --no-deps . --wheel-dir ./dist

5. Upload the distribution

python3 -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/* --verbose

We will probably need some sort of OTel credentials to publish this package to PyPi. CC @open-telemetry/technical-committee

Are we really sure we need this? We have enough compatibility problems and under-documentation with what Jinja templates can access. If we expose this, even more changes will be breaking changes.

I don't think we support python < 3.7 at all, probably we need the Python version we currently run with in the container as minimum.

[Kevin-Ngo]

hmm, got it. I added that part just because dataclasses comes standard in 3.7, so we wouldn't have to install it in that case.

We're moving towards weaver as a semconv generation tooling. Closing old PRs.
