Body: <p>I went through the most popular chess engines, e.g. StockFish, Komodo, Rykba and so forth, but I wasn't able to a.) find an API or b.) a python based Engine - does anyone know a suitable project?</p>
  <p>I want to implement a chess engine in a python-based gameportal I'm building (offering to analyse the game after the chess round), though it's an assigned project and I need to use purely Python (except graphics) for the project, hence I was either looking for a proper API or Python based Chess Engine - anyone knows an implementation?</p>
