Enabling module import

[Felix Benning]

So I tried to figure out how to actually import a module from github instead of simply copying the files into my project
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19943022/import-a-python-library-from-github

And this stackoverflow suggestions fails, apparently because there is no setup.py script. I am not 100% sure what a setup.py script is. But I think it basically describes the dependencies of the python module and allows pip to deal with it.

This might also be useful:

I want to get other things done first, but if I finish with these other things in my project I could also have a look at this.
