Now we can keep the exception information on Python interpreter. This is usefull if you are working on Python interface. You can catch the right Exception class when error occurs in your `PythonLayer`. Now we don't use `PyErr_Print` that clears exceptions. We use `PyErr_Fetch` to get the information and `PyErr_Restore` to restore the exceptions back. And I find that `bp::import` or `bp::object::attr` breaks Python interpreter if a module or an attribute doesn't exist. We now use `bp::exec` and `bp::eval` to keep Python interpreter working even after errors occur. I got the hint from the following page. http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/embedded-python-td2702335.html And I also modified to use `bp::object` for `self_` member.
* Modified Makefile to link boost_regex for PythonLayer. * Travis installs boost_regex * Add a note of a new dependency boost_regex on Makefile.config.example

The final commit only mentions this PR. This releases GIL in CPU-intensive operation in C++ side such as
ForwardandBackward. This will allow us, for example, to prefetch in data layers in Python using a different thread (not process) while other layers are running.
