added setup.py to install think*. import via 'import thinkbayes'

[johndavidmiller]

Hi Allen:

I really like using your think*.py code for quick prototyping and testing, esp. via ipython notebook, so I created a simple setup.py to install it. Hardly rocket science, but it makes it possible to use the code from any directory via "import thinkbayes"

Thanks for your great books! I've made them required reading for all my team.

This is a good idea. Thanks!

Can I ask you to check something before I merge? I don't think you need both thinkbayes.py and thinkstats.py (In fact, I'm not sure thinkstats should be in this repo).

Would you check, and if so, remove the dependency on thinkstats?

As I recall it had some goodness and I didnt see any harm in including it. Note that I made them separate imports, for better or worse, rather than a single import of the lot.

Fwiw thinkstats2.py from that book looks like a cross between thinkbayes.py and this thinkstats.py
