I'm not sure it belongs to extras, since its an actual library that do
something and that is installed on the system.

If you do not want it in src, we could create a top level python
directory or a binding/python (which allows for other language later on).
On the other hand, its a binding of the liblttng-ctl, so having the
binding live with the lib directly can be a good idea.

We should probably do a quick survey of other projects approach.
