Rename version to version.txt

2020-10-30T19:14:24Z

Introduce CFFI-based python bindings

This introduces CFFI-based Python3-only bindings. The bindings aim at: - Better performance on pypy - Easier to use Python-C interface - More "pythonic" - The API should not allow invalid operations - Use native object protocol where possible - Memory safety; whatever you do from python, it should not coredump.
