After installing tigramite==5.2.0.3, I have faced with the follwoing Error:

File "testtigramite.py", line 10, in <module>

This might have to do with the Python version, but it shouldn't happen. I fixed some docstring, please try again!

I've tried python "3.9.6" and "3.8.13" and it's failed. After trying python3.10.11 I've faced with following:

    from tigramite.independence_tests.gpdc import GPDC
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1027, in _find_and_load
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1002, in _find_and_load_unlocked

    """Return distance correlation coefficient.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid escape sequence '\*' 

and I just add >r< in the begining of the line 547 of "/tigramite/independence_tests/gpdc.py" file and that solved this issue.

I forgot that file, now all are adapted in the Master.
