[developers] PyDelphin v0.7.0

[Michael Wayne Goodman]

Hi again,

I found a few bugs in the v0.7.0 release, mainly with [incr tsdb()] profile
processing with Python 2.7. I've added fixes and unit tests for these bugs
and released v0.7.1 and v0.7.2 (just after releasing v0.7.1 I noticed a
harmless but confusing error message that I missed during testing; the
releases are functionally identical). If you use Python 2.7 or you use the
`delphin mkprof` command or if your locale is not UTF-8, I strongly suggest
upgrading.

I also added the ability to process [incr tsdb()] profiles with ACE from
PyDelphin:

    >>> from delphin import itsdb
    >>> from delphin.interfaces import ace
    >>> ts = itsdb.TestSuite('mrs')
    >>> with ace.AceParser('../../grammars/erg-1214-x86-64-0.9.27.dat') as
cpu:
    ...     ts.process(cpu)
    ...
    NOTE: parsed 107 / 107 sentences, avg 3253k, time 1.81264s

This functionality is also available via the new `process` command:

    $ delphin process -g ~/grammars/erg-1214-x86-64-0.9.27.dat mrs
    NOTE: parsed 107 / 107 sentences, avg 3253k, time 1.78477s

This process() function overlaps with Woodley's `art` utility (and
partially with [incr tsdb()]), but with some differences:

* art is faster
* art allows for multiple processors via an `arbiter` job controller
* art allows for preprocessors as a filter in the -a ACE option
* process() can recover from ACE crashes
* process() provides more "run" information in the profile
* process() works with PyDelphin's --filter and --apply functions on
profiles
* process() is easier to use from Python scripts
* process() can work with non-standard [incr tsdb()] schemata
* process() can work with non-ACE cpus (e.g., the HTTP API), though I
haven't tested this

Both are capable of parsing, transfer, and generation.

Thanks, and let me know (https://github.com/delph-in/pydelphin/issues) if
you have any issues with the release.
