Add "scripts-to-rule-them-all" for python package

What is scripts-to-rule-them-all?
This is a set of boilerplate scripts describing the normalized script pattern that GitHub uses in its projects.
In this case I think it would be sufficient to only implement 'bootstrap' and 'test'.
The scripts-to-rule-them-all project is intriguing, but it doesn't look like it's being developed anymore. The current state only supports Ruby, so it would not be useful here. This template now provides a Makefile to automate some project management tasks, but a more comprehensive (and standard) solution would be nice. There are are a proliferation of Python packaging tools now, but they don't do much for testing or deployment. Add Docker containers to the mix, and the situation gets even worse.
Tox is a promising, albeit heavyweight, solution for this. This template tries not to be too opinionated while focusing on the basics common to any project, so automation/CI/deployment is left to the user for now.
