@brief APIs for wrapping modules for Python

@section Limitations

Known limitations include:

  - Shared Python modules only really support shared builds of modules. VTK
    does not provide mangling facilities for itself, so statically linking VTK
    into its Python modules precludes using VTK's C++ interface anywhere else
    within the Python environment.
  - Only supports CPython. Other implementations are not supported by the
    `VTK::WrapPython` executable.
  - Links directly to a Python library. See the `VTK::Python` module for more
    details.

@brief Determine Python module destination

Some projects may need to know where Python expects its modules to be placed in
the install tree (assuming a shared prefix). This function computes the default
and sets the passed variable to the value in the calling scope.

~~~
vtk_module_python_default_destination(<var>
  [MAJOR_VERSION <major>])
~~~

By default, the destination is `${CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR}/Lib/site-packages` on
Windows and `${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}/python<VERSION>/site-packages` otherwise.

`<MAJOR_VERSION>` must be one of `2` or `3`. If not specified, it defaults to
the value of `${VTK_PYTHON_VERSION}`.

  * `MODULES`: (Required) The list of modules to wrap.
  * `TARGET`: (Recommended) The target to create which represents all wrapped
    Python modules. This is mostly useful when supporting static Python modules
    in order to add the generated modules to the built-in table.
  * `WRAPPED_MODULES`: (Recommended) Not all modules are wrappable. This
    variable will be set to contain the list of modules which were wrapped.
    These modules will have a `INTERFACE_vtk_module_python_package` property
    set on them which is the name that should be given to `import` statements
    in Python code.
  * `BUILD_STATIC`: Defaults to `${BUILD_SHARED_LIBS}`. Note that shared
    modules with a static build is not completely supported. For static Python
    module builds, a header named `<TARGET>.h` will be available with a
    function `void <TARGET>_load()` which will add all Python modules created
    by this call to the imported module table. For shared Python module builds,
    the same function is provided, but it is a no-op.
  * `INSTALL_HEADERS` (Defaults to `ON`): If unset, CMake properties will not
    be installed.
  * `TARGET_SPECIFIC_COMPONENTS` (Defaults to `OFF`): If set, prepend the
    output target name to the install component (`<TARGET>-<COMPONENT>`).
  * `DEPENDS`: This is list of other Python modules targets i.e. targets
    generated from previous calls to `vtk_module_wrap_python` that this new
    target depends on. This is used when `BUILD_STATIC` is true to ensure that
    the `void <TARGET>_load()` is correctly called for each of the dependencies.
  * `MODULE_DESTINATION`: Modules will be placed in this location in the
    build tree. The install tree should remove `$<CONFIGURATION>` bits, but it
    currently does not. See `vtk_module_python_default_destination` for the
    default value.
  * `STATIC_MODULE_DESTINATION`: Defaults to `${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}`. This
    default may change in the future since the best location for these files is
    not yet known. Static libraries containing Python code will be installed to
    the install tree under this path.
  * `CMAKE_DESTINATION`: (Required if `INSTALL_HEADERS` is `ON`) Where to
    install Python-related module property CMake files.
  * `LIBRARY_DESTINATION` (Recommended): If provided, dynamic loader
    information will be added to modules for loading dependent libraries.
  * `PYTHON_PACKAGE`: (Recommended) All generated modules will be added to this
    Python package. The format is in Python syntax (e.g.,
    `package.subpackage`).

@brief Install Python packages with a module

Some modules may have associated Python code. This function should be used to
install them.

~~~
vtk_module_add_python_package(<module>
  PACKAGE <package>
  FILES <files>...
  [MODULE_DESTINATION <destination>]
  [COMPONENT <component>])
~~~

The `<module>` argument must match the associated VTK module that the package
is with. Each package is independent and should be installed separately. That
is, `package` and `package.subpackage` should each get their own call to this
function.

  * `PACKAGE`: (Required) The package installed by this call. Currently,
    subpackages must have their own call to this function.
  * `FILES`: (Required) File paths should be relative to the source directory
    of the calling `CMakeLists.txt`. Upward paths are not supported (nor are
    checked for). Absolute paths are assumed to be in the build tree and their
    relative path is computed relative to the current binary directory.
  * `MODULE_DESTINATION`: Modules will be placed in this location in the
    build tree. The install tree should remove `$<CONFIGURATION>` bits, but it
    currently does not. See `vtk_module_python_default_destination` for the
    default value.
  * `COMPONENT`: Defaults to `python`. All install rules created by this
    function will use this installation component.

A `<module>-<package>` target is created which ensures that all Python modules
have been copied to the correct location in the build tree.

@todo Support freezing the Python package. This should create a header and the
associated target should provide an interface for including this header. The
target should then be exported and the header installed properly.
