Python documentation

[Sven Brauch]

Hi!

Well, i'll have a look at both methods and then choose whatever seems more
suitable. From what I heard now, it seems that it won't matter too much,
will it :)
But good I learned about the kdevelop database, I didn't know it was there
before.

The stability of the plugin related to crashes is quite good, as it uses
python's parser (which either gives a valid AST, or an error, and never
crashes or similar). I didn't do any long-time use tests, but it can parse
large amounts of code without crashing (i parsed my system's package manager
frontend, ~50.000 LoC, as a test). There will be some unsupported
statements, especially python2.7 features, but those should not cause
crashes, either. The stability in terms of bugs like incorrect highlighting,
wrong ranges or context information, or code completion is not too good yet,
but you're welcome to try it out. It might also be very slow in some cases.
What definitely does work well is syntax error reporting. :)
And features are very limited, for example, every statement containing a dot
(foo.bar.baz) is not processed completely (currently there's just
information about the "foo").

Greetings,
Sven
