Upgrade funcparserlib to 1.0.0 #394

Description

@chinyeungli

The current version of funcparserlib used in DejaCode is v0.3.6, which is quite outdated—it was released back in 2013.
When attempting to build funcparserlib from source using the script referenced in #339, the process fails due to syntax incompatibilities with Python 3.13. Specifically, the build returns multiple syntax errors such as:

These are due to the outdated Python 2-style exception handling and other deprecated constructs that are no longer valid in Python 3.13.

It'll be great if the funcparserlib can be upgraded to version 1.0.0 to resolve these syntax errors and ensuring compatibility with modern Python versions.
