Create a Python library for use in evemu

[Duncan McGreggor]

uTouch-Evemu would be more useful for testing and debugging if it had python bindings. The original bug report was geared towards an overall task of integrating python evemu scripts into checkbox, but that is too large of a task for one particular bug. For reference, the original bug remains below.

Original bug report
===================
Depends on:
 * bug #731678

Blocks:
 * bug #622790
 * bug #646719
 * bug #731444

We have two tasks for the creation of evemu-based scripts/apps; both of these need to:
 * share a common library
 * be easily usable in Checkbox and apport

Supporting information:
 * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Automation/Checkbox/
 * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport/DeveloperHowTo

Additional notes (from IRC):
<ara> in checkbox, you can have a requires field in your test, that will run only if that package is available
<ara> in apport, as the hook is only installed if a particular package is installed, you can assume that the dependencies for that package are installed as well

Is this request still valid in utouch-evemu? This was something Duncan had started working on last year, and was never finished out. Should we keep this around, or let it close?

I think it's a valid bug, though I'm going to amend it to merely say that we want utouch-evemu to have python support and that it could be useful for checkbox testing.

Python bindings were released in 1.0.8 and are shipped by default.
