norm 1.5.9 python binding failure

[urluberluneuf]

On ubuntu 20.04 with python 2.7.18: I get this:

import pynorm
Traceback (most recent call last):

I found the problem: the function does not exist ! in the core.py file, the lines 504 and 505 need to be commented.

In the 1.5.9 release, the function is commented out in normApi.cpp. That particular function is in a section of "experimentall" API calls and is one mainly used for debugging purposes. In fact, I'm not sure it's really relevant anymore. So there is a mismatch between the Python binding code that still references that function and the C/C++ API code where it is commented out. I will make sure this is addressed in a new release. In the current code on Github, the function is part of the API and library which is why I haven't noticed the issue. I'm sorry that detail was not caught when the 1.5.9 release package was build.

I made a mistake closing this issue: I may have found a way to circumvent the problem, the problem exists anyway !

This has been addressed in the recent commit that addressed other Python binding issues.
