I think for now doctests are probably good enough, as they alse serve as
a sort of documentation on the proper usage.

If invoking "python __init.py__" is all there is to it then this can
easily be achieved from the Makefile. We just need to make sure that we
do not hard code this as a build time requirement. People that do not
use the Python interface also do not want to test it. We will have
configure to check for Python and only then do the tests for the Python
interface.
