This fixes #206.

Before this change, when multiple Python processes are simultaneously
doing a from flanker.addresslib import address, it's possible for some
of them to crash in ply code.

See dabeaz/ply#184, where
I attempted to work around this issue by changing ply. You can see in this comment: dabeaz/ply#184 (comment) that the author of ply suggests two workarounds for this issue:

  1. Remove ply as a dependency in setup.py and copy the source code of ply into flanker.
  2. Disable writing parsetab files to disk when invoking yacc.
  1. seemed like the simpler solution to me, so that's what I've done
    here.

(Full disclosure, I haven't tested this at all because I'm not sure how to.)

Bump! Can anyone take a look?

This fixes mailgun#206.

Before this change, when multiple Python processes are simultaneously
doing a `from flanker.addresslib import address`, it's possible for some
of them to crash in `ply` code.
