Make tool pip-installable

[corneliusroemer]

Shouldn't be difficult, you need a setup.py and account of Pypi

You can have a look at this repo of mine that can be installed via Pypi as a command line tool (if you install it, the command becomes automatically available in Path!)

That sounds like a great idea! I will probably do it soon(ish).

I think I want to read a bit about distutils and setuptools first so that I understand what I'm actually doing.

This would be so useful! It's really not hard ;)

I just added a setup.py but then I realized that sc2rf needs some data files to run, which is possible.

It may also modify one of those data files at runtime (virus_properties.json), which is a problem. So it's not as trivial as I hoped it would be. I think I have to leave it in this half-baked state for a short while…

Is it now on pypi? :)
