Tools for extending yapping and comment management

# Introduction to eyap

The `eyap` package is an extended yapping and comment management
system written in python. The basic goal is to provide a high-level
comment management system which can be used with various back-ends.

# Quick start

The following example is from [`eyap/__init__.py`](https://github.com/emin63/eyap/blob/master/eyap/__init__.py):

With eyap, you can choose a backend to manage your comments. A key goal of
the eyap package is that you can write your code in a generic way and easily
switch the back-end. For example, you can use a simple file back-end with
something like like the following:

```

>>> import eyap, tempfile, os, shutil # Import some things used for demo.
>>> backend = 'file' # Use a simple file backend for demo.
>>> finfo = {'owner': 'emin63', 'realm': tempfile.mkdtemp(), 'topic': 'test'}
>>> comment_thread = eyap.Make.comment_thread('file', **finfo)
>>> comment_thread.add_comment('Testing things', allow_create=True)
>>> comment_thread.add_comment('is great!')

```

The code above will create a new comment thread and add a comment to it
while also creating the thread if it does not exist. Later, you could
access the thread via something like:

```
>>> print(str(comment_thread.lookup_comments())) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
========================================
Subject: Testing things ...
Timestamp: ...
----------
Testing things
========================================
Subject: is great! ...
Timestamp: ...
----------
is great!

```

The main reason for the existence of something like eyap is so that you
could use pretty much the same exact code with a different backend. For
example, using 'github' instead of 'file' and setting realm/owner to the
organization/repo in github while providing a valid user/token for github
access will post or read an issue from github.

```

>>> ginfo = {'owner': 'emin63', 'realm': 'eyap', 'topic': 'Describe usage'}
>>> g_thread = eyap.Make.comment_thread('github', **ginfo)
>>> print(str(g_thread.lookup_comments())) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS

```

Note that in the above, we only read from github since we did not provide
any username or password. If you had a username and token or password, you
could post comments to github as well.

Plesae do *NOT* post to above issue; use your own repo for tests. :)

Finally, we cleanup the file based backend since we don't need it anymore.

```

>>> shutil.rmtree(finfo['realm']) # Remove the directory to cleanup test.
>>> os.path.exists(finfo['realm']) # Verify we cleaned up.
False

```

# Back ends

We currently have the following back-ends available:

`file`: A simple file-based back-end.
`github`: Reading/writing comments to github issues.

Pull requests are welcome to add more back-ends.
