Python wrapper installation fails

[Shishqa]

Now it is impossible to install puccini from latest source code.

I think this was due to Puccini not having a release in a long time. :) I cut a release. Can you verify that it now works for you?

[tliron]

Sorry, I misread your issue report. You are installing from git, which is indeed broken. I will look into it.

After some consideration, this approach to installing a local build is no longer supported. The scripts/build-wrapper-python should be used. I've updated the documentation accordingly.
