Make Juriscraper installable with pip about juriscraper

OK, this is pretty simple, actually. See the answer here as a starting point:

Turns out this is a bit of a pain, and I could use some help from somebody that knows the conventions.

I was able to do most of the work in a new branch (named issue-59-pip), but ran out of time and had to stop. I think I've got an installable thing working. You can build with:

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

And you can install locally with:

pip install dist/juriscraper-1.0.tar.gz --upgrade

So that's cool. But:

• that doesn't handle the installation of the dependencies in the requirements.txt file (these apparently need to get moved to somewhere else)
• It doesn't handle the dependency on phantomJS (though there's apparently a new python project for this.
• In the readme I don't know how to explain installation to developers vs. users (is there a distinction?)
• I haven't figured out how to push it to pypi so it's available everywhere

Needs a bit more research, but I suspect for the right person, this would be a breeze.

I guess another thing to take care of here is that Travis is now broken for this branch. That should be easy though. Just a matter of backing out the weird stuff we're already doing...

Got an itch to dig into this, mostly to make the freelawmachine simpler.

You know, @m4h7 was doing some work on this, but I could never satisfy myself that it was ready, and I think I dropped the ball on taking it the last mile.

I wonder if it might be worth it to try to do the seal rookery and/or judge-pics first? It can't be that hard, but then, there's a TON of voodoo around it that really got me frustrated.

Closer. Got a package in PyPI. Seems there are some minor issues surfacing related to how parts of the module are exposed and how some things like logging works (See issue #128).

So right now a pip install juriscraper appears to work on the surface. Still testing.

This is done!
