Extend the MantidPythonAPI for Python use

[Nick Draper]

We need to add

• the ability to create any algorithm
• The ability to set parameters on algorithms
• the ability to execute algorithms
• The ability to extract 2D workspaces (prefereable any workspace)
• Access to the data on 2D workspaces

This should be avaivable through providing a python interface to the following classes FrameworkManager Parameter IAlgorithm Algorithm Instrument Sample WorkspaceHistory AlgorithmHistory AlgorithmParameter

[Nick Draper]

(In [963]) re #127 Edit the windows build to embed the manifest files required to import the API to python.

[Nick Draper]

(In [964]) re #127 Basic MantidScript.bat and MantidStartup.py added

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1093]) Added frameworkManager to the python API. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1097]) Remove shared pointer reference from loadraw. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1098]) Refs #127. Adjusted WorkspaceProperty so clear() is called in store() as the method was returning before executing that line.

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1100]) Refs #127. Adjusted test to match changes

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1143]) Added tests from framework manager wrapper. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1144]) Forgot to add DLLExport as usual! Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1145]) Try using full namespace! Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1147]) Forgot to checkin the file I added DLLExport to! Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1150]) Removed the interface class as it provided the same functionality as the framework class. Hopefully the DLLExports are correct! Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1151]) Have renamed GetHistogramNumber to GetNumberHistograms as it is hopefully less ambiguous. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1153]) Added Algorithm to PythonWrapper. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1155]) Added AlgorithmParameter, WorkspaceHistory and AlgorithmHistory to Python wrapper. Had to define a == operator for AlgorithmParameter and AlgorithmHistory. Had to define a method to return AlgorithmParameters from WorkspaceHistory as Python is not happy with overloading on const. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1157]) Added definition to Workspace Wrapper for getHistory. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1158]) Added a python test script. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1159]) First attempt at automating python tests (Linux only). Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1160]) Bad python! Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1161]) Path now correct for saving python test log. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1162]) typo in email script! Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1163]) typo in email script! Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1164]) typo in email script! Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1187]) Python tests should finally work.Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1197]) Changed PythonWrapper and tests to match Russell's changes. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1222]) Added IDetector and SpectraDetectorMap for Python. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1231]) Added push_back to python versions of vector<double> and vector<string>. Refs #127

[Matt Clarke]

(In [1232]) Missed an ampersand. Refs #127
