pymrpt.so is not in python sys.path

[rdinoff]

after installing ros-noetic-mrpt-bridge, pymrpt.so is placed in the wrong directory. The file needs to be in the pythonpath:

$ dpkg -S pymrpt
ros-noetic-mrpt2: /opt/ros/noetic/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/python3.8/dist-packages/pymrpt.so

$ dpkg -l ros-noetic-mrpt2

Good point. Will try to fix it for the next release.

Any further testing or improvements in the python wrappers will be welcome, since we normally only focus on C++ ;-)
