Python interface

Hello,

It is an amazing project. I was wondering if a Python interface of this library is planned in the short-term.

Warmly,

Roy.

Thank you! BitMagic implements a C language interface which makes it easy to create wrappers for other languages (including Java/JNI). Internal design allows compilation without C++ runtime to make language mappings easier.

Python integration was also planned and even tried for quite a while (and could be super-handy to have!). The problem so far was luck of resources, so if anybody wants to contribute on that - it would be super helpful. If such community effort starts we will support it at the C-mapping level.
