core.py
has contained some methods for copying modules on the file system and somesuch.Elsewhere, @llorracc has expressed the idea that methods that should help with the configuration of the Python environment or Jupyter notebooks should go in the HARK library somewhere.
These sorts of functions are of a very different character from the model code and it doesn't make much sense for them to be sitting side by side.
This PR moves this code from
core
to a new modulehelpers
where it will be out of the way.(it also removes the dummy main() method from core.py, which is unnecessary)
