Make package available through pypi

[dhhagan]

Hey @darothen : any chance you could make this package available on pypi? I am looking at including it as a dependency in something I'm going to release, but don't want to force people (who may be less software-inclined) to install from source. Is that something that is possible?

Is there any reason why we might want to use PyPI instead of conda-forge? The Fortran compilation step is a bit problematic here... I'm pretty sure it'll work just fine, but in my experience conda-forge is an easier platform for code with an external compilation step.

PyPI upload steps:

1. Increment the version number; publish a tagged release to GitHub.
2. Build a new distribution by executing python setup.py sdist; this will create the distribution file for uploads and will automatically use that new version number you incremented.
3. Upload via twine: twine upload dist/*

I went ahead and created an PyPI project; it's not quite showing up right now if you try to pip install py-mie but hopefully it'll catch up in a few hours.

Awesome. I've never used conda-forge, but it doesn't really matter to me..

Looks to be working just fine on PyPI; will endeavor to set-up conda-forge when I have some more time :)
