With this patch, the client will package up all the required
inputs into a compressed zip file, establish a connection to the
server, send the input to the server, and wait for the server to
send a response (in this case the response is just echoed back to
the client).
This gets the network communication in place, and in a subsequent
patch I will follow up with the code that actually runs swig on
the server and sends back the output instead of echoing back the
input.

By default in Python 3, check_output() returns a program's output as
an encoded byte sequence. This means it returns a Py3 `bytes` object,
which cannot be compared to a string since it's a different fundamental
type.
Although it might not be correct from a purist standpoint, from a
practical one we can assume that all output is encoded in the default
locale, in which case using universal_newlines=True will decode it
according to the current locale. Anyway, universal_newlines also
has the nice behavior that it converts \r\n to \n on Windows platforms
so this makes parsing code easier, should we need that. So it seems
like a win/win.
