 -   Added argument types information to "No method matches given arguments" message
 -   Moved wheel import in setup.py inside of a try/except to prevent pip collection failures
 -   Removes PyLong_GetMax and PyClass_New when targetting Python3
+-   Added support for converting python iterators to C# arrays
