Stop. The root cause: The *.i files are already used for pre-processor output files and the kernel removes all the *.i files by 'make mrproper'. That explains why the raw_pylibcpupower.i is removed by 'make mrproper'. To fix it, Follow John's suggestion to rename raw_pylibcpupower.i to raw_pylibcpupower.swg.

These bindings allows users to easily write scripts that use and extend libcpupower's functionality. Currently, only Python is provided in the makefile, but additional languages may be added if there is demand. Added suggestions from Shuah Khan for the README and license discussion. Note that while SWIG itself is GPL v3+ licensed; the resulting output, the bindings code, is permissively licensed + the license of the .o files. Please see https://swig.org/legal.html and [1] for more details.
