[IPOL discuss] A library of python bindings for IPOL algorithms

Hi all,

It would be nice to have the project advertised on the main page once it
will be good enough (more papers and tested on various os and python
versions). yes , by default one can not just download the wrapper for a
single code but for the whole bundle. However I added in the readme
an explanation on how to install only a subset of the papers.
As more papers will be added, i wonder if installing all the papers will
become a problem in term of the duration of the installation and the size
of the library on the disc. It seems that the code of a paper takes on
average 2Mo after compilation and there are about a hundred papers on IPOL
which makes 200Mo which is quite big for a python library. One solution for
the size problem could be to specify for each paper the list of files or
file extensions than need to be kept after the compilation. Which would
lead to an average of 500ko per paper.  For the compilation time, maybe we
could provide prebuild packages through PyPI (https://pypi.python.org/pypi).
about the time needed to add a pape i think i was a bit too optimistic , it
can take almost 2h for some papers.

Best

Martin
