[task #13786] Usable libraries for other languages

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

Update of task #13786 (project gnuastro):

                 Summary: Usable libraries for other languages (maybe using
SWIG) => Usable libraries for other languages

Follow-up Comment #8:

Yes ;-)! So far, I think this it the cleanest and lowest-level way: at the
start of the function we have some special functions to convert framework to C
(while keeping the originally allocated array: not making an extra copy), do
the main job in C through any number of calls to any library, and then convert
the output data structures back to Python and return them.

Python is a language that evolves/changes a lot! Numpy evolves even faster
than Python!!! So if you want your work to used in a more generic/longer-term
manner, it is best to minimize the exposure of your work to this changing
environment and just update the conversion tools when they change.

However, as you go deeper into it (during the implementation), you may find
that for some cases/situations, it may be better to make Python classes,
you'll definitely figure this out as you go ahead during implementation ;-).
