PyPi package

Distributing Alectryon as a PyPi package would make it easier to install. The steps are described here: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/

there is a github workflow called python-publish for this.

# This workflow will upload a Python Package using Twine when a release is created
# For more information see: https://help.github.com/en/actions/language-and-framework-guides/using-python-with-github-actions#publishing-to-package-registries

@cpitclaudel If this GitHub Action is all it takes to get Alectryon on PyPI, do you think that you could try it out?

[cpitclaudel]

I'd love to merge a PR, but I really don't have time at the moment (I'm going on a trip tomorrow :/)

[Zimmi48]

OK. I think it goes beyond a PR by an external contributor, because you would have to set up some secret variables and all...

[cpitclaudel]

The github action isn't all it takes: someone needs to write the manifest file / setup.py. I don't know how they work, and I don't have enough time to learn right now :/ If someone writes that and locally tests installing the package, then I'll happily do the dance of registering the package on pypi and setup the needed secrets

[Zimmi48]

OK thanks for clarifying!

Done in #46 :tada:
