[CMake] Python project using Cmake

[srinivas boppu]

Hi Matthew Keeler,

Thanks for your quick reply. My project is a pure python project. I wanted
to use cmake and ctest for testing my individual python modules. Later on,
I might have some "tcl" scripts and may be some c++ sources in the same
project.

It would be great, if you could share your pure python project details and
the macros or related documents.

Thanks and Regards,
Srinivas Boppu
