Python project setup, updater, and launcher

Increase project productivity and provide features easily. Once installed as a git submodule (or downloaded), placed in a project and configured, it automatically provides updates, dependency installation, and launcher. It automatically finds the required version of python, launches projects with it. In addition, pyLaunch:Launch allows custom exit values, which can be used to reload source code quickly and enable easier code editing.
