Sorry everyone for me breaking the Python implementation of TLSH
The --force option meant that I changed the CMakeLists.txt
And I did not test the Python (I am an algorithm / C++ guy - not really a Python guy).

Anyway - I dug through it and did the steps (1)-(3) above
I fixed setup.py to process the new CMakeLists.txt properly
And now it passes

I am going to incorporate this into the regression test - with a -python option
So that this does not occur again

Sorry once again...
