> Avro's build process for its Python bindings currently needs a set of pre-processing steps that need to be executed before the build proper is started.  These pre-processing steps are executed by {{ant}}.
> The attached patch folds these pre-processing steps into the {{setup.py}} control script that is input to Python's {{distutils}} build tool kit.  This eliminates the dependency on {{ant}}.
> In the patch:
> * Source files that need keyword expansion are renamed to use a {{.in}} extension.  The build process will generate the appropriately transformed {{.py}} files from these {{.in}} files.
> * {{setup.py}} supports a new command {{make_interop_data}}, used to generate test data for use with interoperability test code.
