Track the packaging progress

[ocefpaf]

@sreeder and @emiliom this issue is to help me track what I need to do here. Please let me know what you think.

• fix Travis-CI (re-enable travis-ci #21)
• add AppVeyor testing (AppVeyor #22)
• add a setup.py (add setup.py... #24)
• how to manage versioning (@sreeder are you OK with versioneer or do you want to handle that differently?) (add setup.py... #24)
• entrypoint to call the GUI
• conda recipe and package for the ODM2 channel
• source (wheels?) distribution for PyPI
• "desktop app" metadata like icons, etc (pending static resources)

@ocefpaf, I like this, and in fact was going to suggest something along these lines. Thanks.

[sreeder]

@ocefpaf versioneer is great

@ocefpaf versioneer is great

Thanks @sreeder! As soon as we clear #21 and #22 I'll start working on the setup.py and versioneer.

@sreeder do you have some time this week to go over the possible entrypoints for YODA-Tools?
Or maybe we need this one to call the GUI? That is the only missing part to finish #24

[sreeder]

@ocefpaf yes, I will take a look at it. To double check what you want for "entry points", It is basically where you can access the code? So the .py file where they send in the command line arguments? Or the GUI .py file.

In a way it can be both. We can have multiple entry points for CLI, for example, or 1 (or a few) for GUIs.

In this case I need the one used to call the GUI main loop. (I am guessing there there is only 1.)

@ocefpaf the file that I use to run the converter GUI is D:\DEV\YODA-Tools\yodatools\dataloader\controller\Main.py.

Thanks! I'll experiment adding that to the setup.py tomorrow morning.

PS: we can do icon install, etc. But I don't want to get into that right now.
I'll started with only a command that opens the GUI.
