pyln: Change the setup.py file not to import the package

This would lead to errors about missing dependencies when attempting
to install using `pyhon setup.py install`. This is because the
`setup.py` file effectively is the manifest file used to discover
which dependencies are needed, so when using it to detect dependencies
we obviously don't have them yet.
