Reorganise python scripts in repository, and unify install script.

I propose to reorganise hemeTools as follows:

Tools/Python/
Tools/HemeTools/setup.py (install script)
Tools/HemeTools/HemeTools (current hemeTools directory)
Tools/HemeTools/scripts (executable scripts, e.g. CfgParser.py)

This will require updating a bunch of python import statements and tweaking the setup.py, but will be more sane.

I would like to suggest renaming the executables with a prefix to make them all appear on tab-complete at the command line. I suggest "hlb" so we'd have hlb-cfgparser, hlb-countsites, etc

In the not-to-distant future, I will move the setuptool into this structure too.

Comments?

Yep, it might be nice to also have a bin directory to sym-links to all of the tools themselves to make it easy to add them all to your path at once. I also think lowerCamelCase is more consistent: hlbCfgParser, hlbCountSites etc.

Otherwise, I'm sold.

Regarding the bin directory, I think you have misunderstood slightly. The setup.py file is approximately the Python equivalent of a Makefile. It installs the hemetools module somewhere on your $PYTHONPATH, and will also install the executable scripts (the default location being the directory of the running python interpreter).

Agree about the camelcased script naming

I have also figured out how to enforce inter-package dependencies in python setup scripts so the setuptool does not have to move into this structure. I will delay a decision on that change for a while.

So long as I can just run 'setuptool' or whatever else from any directory, I don't mind where the Python libraries go so much. I assume you're making it easy to add all the executable scripts to my PATH in one go?

Cheers, sounds fine otherwise.

James will come up with a plan for this. Rupert will actually do the move.
