Attempt to make
pip install plip
just work.pip install plip
fails due to a bug in openbabel python bindings distribution on pypi. [0]The changes from this PR will check if openbabel bindings module is loadable and if not, will attempt to download, fix and install them during plip build process.
On recent Debian/Ubuntu systems, it is sufficient to install the python3-openbabel package, which will pull all the necessary binary dependencies. If pre-packaged bindings are not present, the requirements are OpenBabel development files, the OpenBabel library, SWIG, and pkg-config, since OpenBabel's setup.py relies on pkg-config and properly installed OpenBabel.
