No specific reason, I did not know it was an option to use just the
wpaspy.py instead of including the wpaspy.c. I was attempting to use
wpaspy.c because that is what the setup.py in the 2.9 tag on hostap is
using. So I will change my focus to having the wpaspy.py get included
instead of the build of wpaspy.c
