Go into the new Python directory and run make to build -libwarpx.so. Then run "python setup.py install", which builds the wrapper and installs it. For this, you will need to have -swig installed. (In the future, the swig generated wrapper could be put into the repo so swig wouldn't be needed.) +To build it, run "make pyinstall" in the Python directory.
