Adding ABCpy package

[LoryPack]

Hello, thank you so much for creating this useful framework!

I am one of the mantainers of the ABCpy package (https://github.com/eth-cscs/abcpy); I would like to contribute by wrapping it for this benchmarking tool; in this way, some ABC algorithms which are not presently included in your analysis and are implemented in ABCpy could be included (see the README.md in the link above).

I am just opening this issue to let you know I'll try doing this, and asking if you have any suggestions for how to proceed in the best possible way. I think from your guidelines I need to create wrapping functions, so I'll try doing that and provide some updates if I encounter any problem.

Hi Lorenzo,

that's great! I'm much looking forward to have ABCpy part of the framework and will be glad to help on the way.

I would suggest modelling the integration after the existing run functions, e.g. take a look at how pyabcranger and/or pyabc are wrapped. Let me know of any questions or problems that show up on the way.

Best, Jan-Matthis

Given #46 - it might be very useful to promote integrating abcpy rather soonish as the developer base appears to be large. thoughts?

Hi @LoryPack, it's been a while, but what is the status here? Are there still plans for doing this. Is there anything we could help with?

Hi @janfb , thanks for pushing this up. Unfortunately, I am not maintainign ABCpy anymore. I add here @statrita2004 who is involved in the project.
