Utilities for the python package param

This is student-driven code, so don't expect a stable API. I'll try to use semantic versioning, but the best way to keep functionality stable is by pinning the version in the requirements or by forking.

While param is a great tool for keeping track of parameters, currently serialization is restricted to pickling and unpickling objects. pydrobert-param takes the stance that parameter (de)serialization has an intuitive and obvious representation in most cases. The developer can modify how pydrobert-param (de)serializes param.Parameterized instances according to her needs.

A teaser:

import param
import pydrobert.param.serialization as serial

class Foo(param.Parameterized):
    my_int = param.Integer(10)

first, second = Foo(), Foo()
first.my_int = 30
serial.serialize_to_json('foo.json', first)
serial.deserialize_from_json('foo.json', second)
assert first.my_int == second.my_int

While the primary purpose of pydrobert-param is for parameter (de)serialization, there is also code in pydrobert.param.optuna for hyperparameter optimization via Optuna. Check the documentation for more complicated examples of serialization, as well as for hyperparameter optimization.
