- Separating exposed Python data structures into logical sections
- Exposes all of the multi_usrp API
- Adds a layer of Python for documentation and adding helper methods
- Adds improvements and fixes to the MultiUSRP object
- Includes additional exposed data structures (like time_spec_t, etc.)
- Add code to release the Python GIL during long C++ calls
