Python wrapper for few Spack's commands

TLDR;

Before use, be sure that you've got a exported SPACK_ROOT

from pySpack import PySpack

if __name__ == "__main__":
    spack = PySpack()
    spack.install('py-json5')       # spack install py-json5 -> return bool 
    spack.find('py-json5')          # spack find py-json5 -> return bool
    spack.is_installable('py-json5')# spack list py-json5 -> return bool if package is available to install 
    spack.uninstall('py-json5')     # spack uninstall py-json5 -> return bool
