Python Wrapper

This is a simple wrapper to make running python scripts as easy as if they were normal executables. This is really just an issue on Windows, however using this wrapper on all platforms will make it easier to maintain, especially if we need to perform additional steps like setting-up environment variables, etc.

• The executables are installed into the bin directory with the same names as the scripts, except for the file extension.
• The bin directory should be in your path.
• The scripts are installed in the sibling scripts directory.
• The list of executable file names is kept in the install_names.txt file.
