Python binding available!

Written for rohc by Didier Barvaux on 2016-01-11

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce you that the ROHC library now got one Python binding!

It was pushed to master a few minutes ago [0]. Feedback is of course welcome.

* The Python extension is based on Swig [1].
* It supports both Python 2 and Python 3 thanks to the 'future' Python
   module [2].
* A short example is available in sources [3].
* All non-regression tests runs fine with the pure-Python
   implementation of the non-regression test [4].
* It is a bit slow when compared with the pure C implementation, but it
   makes prototyping applications so much easier.
* There are instructions for building, installing and testing the
   Python extension on the wiki [5].
* There are also some info in the README and INSTALL files in sources.

Regards,
Didier
