Python API for libctlgeom?

[stevengj]

It might be worth taking some of the Python API from meep and moving it into libctl (Python analogues of geometric objects, plus code to construct the corresponding libctl object), and the various queries of the objects. Once you have that, then you would also wrap a routine to convert a Python list of objects to a C array of objects, then wrap the functions to create a tree of objects from the array, then wrap the functions to query the object of a point in the tree.

Looks good, the main remaining task is to integrate the build with the rest of the Makefile.am files (similar to meep). I'll bang on this and post a branch.

I've pushed a https://github.com/NanoComp/libctl/tree/python branch of the main repo that adds an automake-ified build. You should just be able to do:

./configure --enable-maintainer-mode PYTHON=python3
make
make install

to build and install the Python package.
