  A lightweight LLVM python binding for writing JIT compilers

  The old llvmpy binding exposes a lot of LLVM APIs but the mapping
  of C++-style memory management to Python is error prone. Numba and
  many JIT compilers do not need a full LLVM API. Only the IR builder,
  optimizer, and JIT compiler APIs are necessary.

  llvmlite is a project originally tailored for Numba's needs, using
  the following approach:

  - A small C wrapper around the parts of the LLVM C++ API we need
    that are not already exposed by the LLVM C API.
  - A ctypes Python wrapper around the C API.
  - A pure Python implementation of the subset of the LLVM IR builder
    that we need for Numba.
