IBM MQ Python samples

The python samples are based on https://dsuch.github.io/pymqi/ and have been tested with python 2.7.10 and 3.5.1

Python PyMQI library uses the IBM MQ C client libraries through the MQI interface.

The library needs to be compiled with a C compiler which you need to have installed in your development environment.

For example, on MacOS we used XCode, on Windows the Desktop development with C++ module inside Visual Studio and on Ubuntu the gcc GNU Compiler Collection.
