[PATCHv2 0/8] Python __repr__() methods and new __dict__ attributes

[Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>]

In V2:

  - Fixed problems in thpy_dealloc that Tom pointed out,

  - Used @group...@end group in the docs as suggested by Eli,

  - Added patches #7 and #8, which are both docs only patches.  The
    first adds advice for naming attributes as Tom suggested, the
    second is just some doc updates that I noticed in passing.

This series is a bit of a mixed bag of Python API related changes.
Patches #2 and #3 do depend on #1, but #4, #5, and #6 are really quite
separate.  However, they're all pretty small, and are all just
extending existing functionality to cover more cases, so I've thrown
them all in together for now.
