Add setup.py so sdk can be uploaded to Pypi #4

I think most python power users would rather use pip to install your SDK, so I've added the boilerplate necessary to get it uploaded to pypi.org; this allows the SDK to be installed a python environment with pip install sphero-sdk

I've uploaded the package to pypi already under my own username; let me know your pypi.org username and I will transfer ownership to you.

I prefer to install with pip. I agree most will prefer that.

Question - Should this be called sphero-rvr-sdk since they have more than one robot?

EvanKrall commented 5 years ago

That’s a good suggestion. I used sphero-sdk to match the module name (sphero_sdk). It’s possible to have the module and package names be different, but I find it less surprising when they match.

Changing the module name is also possible, just a lot more work and would require changing documentation.

We working making the sdk available through pip. we need to take it through a thorough round of testing. Per your suggestion, it will likely have a more concise name.

@EvanKrall I am currently the maintainer of the RVR Raspberry Pi SDK and I found this PR while looking into the origins of the pypi listing. Could you transfer the package ownership to me? I'm considering whether to make pip the primary distribution method for the SDK rather than git, which would require that I can publish updates. My pypi username is JimKonishSphero.

Thanks for contributing.

@Jim-Konish Yep, no problem - I've sent you the invitation to own the repo. Feel free to remove me once you're in, or let me know when you've accepted and I can remove myself.
