python/*: Moved a lot of Python stuff here

The criteria for whether something "belongs" in Development or
Libraries or Python or ... is admittedly arbitrary.  As a general
rule, if it could be either Libraries or Python, it's Python.
Otherwise, pick one and we'll go from there...

+Execute arbitrary JavaScript code from Python. Allows you to reference
+arbitrary Python objects and functions in the JavaScript VM
+
+Having issues?
+==============
+
+The project support site can be found at [lighthouseapp.com][lh].
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+Pkg-Config
+----------
+
+Mac OS X:
+
+This should be installed by default. If not there is a port package:
+
+    $ sudo port install pkgconfig
+
+Debian/Ubuntu:
+
+This is also generally installed by default, but I have reports of it being
+otherwise.
+
+    $ sudo apt-get install pkg-config
+
+Gentoo:
+
+    $ sudo emerge dev-util/pkgconfig
+
+Python Development Files
+------------------------
+
+Mac OS X:
+
+If you installed Python via port then the headers should already be installed.
+I have not heard reports of problems from people using the bundled
+interpreters.
+
+Debian/Ubuntu:
+
+    $ sudo apt-get install pythonX.X-dev
+
+Where X.X is the version of Python you are using. I have not tested
+python-spidermonkey on Py3K so it may be horribly broken there.
+
+Gentoo:
+
+If you have python installed, then the headers should already be installed.
+
+Netscape Portable Runtime (nspr)
+--------------------------------
+
+The nspr library is required for building the Spidermonkey sources. You should
+be able to grab it from your package manager of choice with something like the
+following:
+
+Mac OS X:
+
+    $ sudo port install nspr
+
+Debian/Ubuntu:
+
+    $ sudo apt-get install libnspr4-dev
+    
+Gentoo:
+
+    $ sudo emerge dev-libs/nspr
+
+Alternatively you can build from [source][nspr]. If you choose this route make
+sure that the nspr-config command is on your $PATH when running the install
+commands below.
+
+If you choose this route make
+sure that the pkg-config command is on your `$PATH` when running the install
+commands below. Additionally, make sure that `$PKG_CONFIG_PATH` is properly
+set.
+
+XULRunner (optional)
+--------------------
+You can optionally build the extension linked to your system's spidermonkey
+library, which is installed with XULRunner. You should be able to grab it from
+your package manager of choice with something like the following:
+
+Mac OS X:
+
+    $ sudo port install xulrunner
+
+Debian/Ubuntu:
+
+    $ sudo apt-get install xulrunner-1.9-dev
+
+Gentoo:
+
+    $ sudo emerge net-libs/xulrunner
+
+As with [nspr][nspr], you can also build [xulrunner][xulrunner] from source. And as with [nspr][nspr] you need to make sure hat `$PATH` and `$PKG_CONFIG_PATH` are properly set when building the module.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+    $ git clone git://github.com/davisp/python-spidermonkey.git
+    $ cd python-spidermonkey
+    $ python setup.py build
+    $ python setup.py test
+
+    $ sudo python setup.py install
+
+    *OR*
+    
+    $ sudo python setup.py develop
+
+If you want to build with the system spidermonkey library, replace the build
+command with the following:
+
+    $ python setup.py --system-library build
+
+Examples
+========
+
+Basics
+------
+
+    >>> import spidermonkey
+    >>> rt = spidermonkey.Runtime()
+    >>> cx = rt.new_context()
+    >>> cx.execute("var x = 3; x *= 4; x;")
+    12
+    >>> class Orange(object):
+    ...   def is_ripe(self,arg):
+    ...       return "ripe %s" % arg
+    ...
+    >>> fruit = Orange()
+    >>> cx.add_global("apple", fruit)
+    >>> cx.execute('"Show me the " + apple.is_ripe("raisin");')
+    u'Show me the ripe raisin'
+
+
+Playing with Classes
+--------------------
+
+    >>> import spidermonkey
+    >>> class Monkey(object):
+    ...     def __init__(self):
+    ...         self.baz = "blammo"
+    ...     def wrench(self, arg):
+    ...         return "%s now wrenched" % arg
+    ...
+    >>> rt = spidermonkey.Runtime()
+    >>> cx = rt.new_context()
+    >>> cx.add_global("Monkey", Monkey)
+    >>> monkey = cx.execute('var x = new Monkey(); x.baz = "schmammo"; x;')
+    >>> monkey.baz
+    u'schmammo'
+    >>> monkey.__class__.__name__
+    'Monkey'
+
+
+JavaScript Functions
+--------------------
+
+    >>> import spidermonkey
+    >>> rt = spidermonkey.Runtime()
+    >>> cx = rt.new_context()
+    >>> func = cx.execute('function(val) {return "whoosh: " + val;}')
+    >>> func("zipper!");
+    u'whoosh: zipper!'
+
+
+Filtering access to Python
+--------------------------
+
+    >>> import spidermonkey
+    >>> rt = spidermonkey.Runtime()
+    >>> def checker(obj, name):
+    ...     return not name.startswith("_")
+    ...
+    >>> cx = rt.new_context(access=checker)
+    >>> # Alternatively:
+    >>> cx.set_access()                                     #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+    <function checker at ...>
+    >>> cx.set_access(checker)                              #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+    <function checker at ...>
+    >>> cx.add_global("fish", {"gold": "gone", "_old_lady": "huzza"})
+    >>> cx.execute('fish["_old_lady"];')
+    Traceback (most recent call last):
+            ...
+    JSError: Error executing JavaScript.
