Description

While looking at how Cuckoo integrates with Suricata I saw that it imports the "suricatasc" module to communicate with the socket. This will "just work" if Cuckoo and Suricata are installed in the same Python environment, but does not work when they are installed in different Python enviroments, for example when Cuckoo is install in a Python virtualenv. In such a case it would be very useful if one could just "pip install suricatactl" into the virtual environment.

To facilitate such a use case we should publish our suricatactl Python package to PIP.

I would like to do this for the 5.0.x series to make it immediately useful.
