Better packaging for Python wrapper.

Question

Better packaging for Python wrapper.

Currently the way of building the bindings for Python is quite rudimentary through a Makefile. It would be better to create a python package the user can build and install or even upload it to The Python Package Index so the user does not need to build it at all.

Agreed, there is no reason not to do this that I can think of

The Python wrapper can now be built wholly through a self-contained CMake build, which can also be triggered by a top-level CMake package build process. This is a pre-cursor to releasing the library via Spack and potentially other package management systems.
