[lttng-dev] [PULL REQUEST babeltrace] Python bindings update

[Jérémie Galarneau]

Hi all,

Here are some patches to add read support of every CTF type using the
Babeltrace Python bindings. It is now possible to retrieve fields and
access their values using a single get_value() method returning native
Python objects. This is made possible using the work contributed by
one of our GSoC students, Xiaona Han.

These patches also make it possible to generate CTF from Python code,
based on the CTF Writer API that was merged recently.

The patches are available here:
