setup.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
This is a setup script, adapted from an example for the possible setup of a 
library located by default within the src/ folder.
All packages will be installed to python.site-packages
simply run:

    >>> python setup.py install

NOTE: Due to a bug in the version detection system, this is not supported yet.
Use local installation as described below.

For a local installation or if you like to develop further

    >>> python setup.py develop --user

Make sure to install all requirements first, typically with pip.

Regarding tifffile on Windows x64-systems:
In case of problems while installing the package for x64 Python, 
use Anaconda Distribution.

As soon as we implemented proper unit testing, the test_suite located within 
the test/ folder will be executed automatically.
