Feature Enhancement - Add tox for testing multiple python versions

[gurupratap-matharu]

An awesome feature for this package would be to use a great tool like tox
to automatically test the package against different python versions.

A PR is linked which does it ;-)

Thank you

Looks like this is PR #482. I'm new to tox: can you help me understand what the benefit would be? Is it common for code to fail on one version of Python and not another?

Failing of a package on different python versions depends upon the complexity of the package. Since this repo is a pip package we cannot guarantee each user using it will have the same base python version we want them to have. It's great that the package is being tested by unit tests. Tox simply helps run those tests against different python versions automatically to assure that the package is guaranteed to work properly. This enhances the usability. Tox is pretty popular to test pythonic packages. Check this excellent python package using it https://github.com/joke2k/faker
