Rejig main entry point

[jeromekelleher]

Change how we run tsqc from using panel serve to python3 main.py. This is a step towards packaging everything up in a more standard way, where we ship this as a Python package.

Also clarifies the logic of when we load up the datafile and how we cache it, which was quite confusing before.

Also supports tszip input.

Closes #82

Looks great!

One small note for reference - in WSL, previously VSCode would prompt me to open the app in a browser but now I get these messages:

Adding BROWSER=/path/to/browser.exe to the path fixes it.

I had 2 questions related to this PR:

• now that tzipped files are supported, would it make sense to add a test to check pages are loaded correctly when a compressed file is provided?

• would it be useful to add a --help option to the click interface?

Thanks for taking a look @savitakartik, this is very helpful. We'll need to fix/document the behaviour in WSL.

I've added #89 to track adding tests for compressed input

There should already be a help interface:

$ python3 main.py --help
Usage: main.py [OPTIONS] PATH

  Run the tsqc server.

Options:
  --port INTEGER  Port to serve on
  --help          Show this message and exit.

it's pretty basic, but we can fill it out as we go. Does this work for you?

LGTM. Seems to remove the ability to use --dev as I can't see any option on panel.serve which does that, but I can live with that.

Ah, must have missed it, totally works for me!
