Python bindings

[rakhimov]

Initial Python API for simple analyses (e.g., fault trees).

Resources: https://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratingPythonWithOtherLanguages

Issues:

• [ ] Binder (extension vs. generator (e.g., Cython vs. Boost.Python))
• [ ] API specification/strategy (Pythonic vs. mirror native C++)
• [ ] Distribution (platforms, packaging, requirements)
• [ ] Integration (friendliness) with other Python libraries/modules (e.g., numpy)
• [ ] Documentation and examples
