pyknit.py main() fails to run

[Ben Hampson]

The main() function isn't working properly.

Attempt 1: in the CLI: pyknit 'k2 p4':

pyKnit 0.0.3

parse_written is not imported.

I suspect that's because of some restructuring we did to the class. It should probably be import pyknit and then use pyknit.GaugeSwatch and the like the way we do in the updated examples.

I was able to resolve this error by renaming pyknit.py
and importing it as the last import of __init__.py
