Thanks to Phil Howard's work on python bindings, they should soon be
more widely adopted. They are now the first thing that pops up in
google when searching for "libgpiod python" and now have a proper
homepage in pypi. Running 'pip3 install gpiod' will now work on
systems with no libgpiod installed too as it's vendored with libgpiod
v2.1 sources. I also plan to finally get around to using breathe and
exhale to produce proper sphinx docs. So hopefully we'll start getting
traction soon.
