Automated Testing and Conda Forge Integration

[aleneum]

I forked Conda Forge staged-recipes and added pya. Before I create a PR we should check on which platforms pya can actually be built and tested (with conda). I created a feature-ci branch to work on this. I will use travis-ci (for MacOS and Linux) and appveyor for Windows.

• fork pya
• add travis support for osx/linux (alex)
• add appveyor support for windows (alex)
• configure appveryor for pya (thomas)
• configure travis for pya (thomas)
• create pull request for feature-ci to develop (alex)
• merge pr into develop
• check integrity with conda pkgs/main and conda-forge (alex)
• submit pya recipe (alex)

I had to fork the project (you find the feature branch here) as I dont have the rights to add necessary service hooks to Thomas repo.

ci works and i will open the pull request the moment travis and appveyor are configured for pya. This has to be done by @thomas-hermann. Transferring issue...

we have to leave conda integration for another day. unfortunately, conda-forge recipes for pyaudio and portaudio do not work on Windows. I tried to make pyaudio (PR) work but stumbled upon issue with portaudio (issue). We cannot just use vanilla conda recipes because pya would be a conda-forge recipe itself. For now, pip and conda (without forge) work good enough though.

conda-forge/portaudio-feedstock#10 has been resolved. We could give this another try.
