environment.yml to specify python>=3.5 and python<3.10

[danhamill]

Today I created the metsim environment from the .yml file in this repo and anaconda chose python version 3.10.

When you try and import from metsim import MetSim you get the following import error:

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: cannot import name 'Iterable' from 'collections' (C:\Anaconda3\envs\metsim\lib\collections\__init__.py)

Apparently Iterable has moved to collections.abc in python 3.10

It would be nice if you could edit the environment.yml to specify python>3.5 and python<3.10.

Hi @danhamill - thanks for filing this issue! Instead of limiting the python version to be <3.10 I've fixed the import so that it should work for any version of python >3.0. Let me know if this is still an issue, otherwise I'll close this one for now!
