Existing `lmoments` package

[faph]

Just to say, there's an existing python package available that does linear moments estimation and from that distribution functions.

See https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lmoments/

I'll use this in the analysis.GrowthCurveAnalysis class I'm building at the moment.

I've now ported the original library to Python 3 with permission from original author. Package available on https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lmoments3. (Think pip install lmoments3.). Documentation on the Open Hydrology rtfd pages.

Note that the original lmoments Python package is based on a Fortran library by Mr. Hosking himself who bascically invented the FEH statistical methods. So we're on solid ground here!

I'm still pinching myself on how well you have done here. Excellent.

Now fully incorporated into floodestimation.analysis.GrowthCurveAnalysis.
