Initial commit

This is a quite large commit containing:

 * The main extension that runs and initializes Python
 * Some (example) bindings
 * An initial build script for the main extension
 * Optional binding and examples of how to create them
 * An initial build script for the optional bindings
 * A simple extension manager written in Python
 * A few example Python extensions
 * Some documentation (both in the code and as markdown files)
 * A collection of helpful python scripts
 * A small collection of unit tests
 * A TODO list

For any additional details the code / docs should be consulted.

+# Documentation for Python Extensions
+
+This is the documentation for the QtCreator Python Extensions plugin.
+
+## Contents
+ 1. [Writing Python Extensions](./extensions.md)
+ 2. [The C++ PythonExtensionsPlugin](./plugin.md)
+ 3. [Build and Development Tools](./tools.md)
+
+## General overview
+
+Please refer to the section \`How it works' in the main [README.md](../README.md) file.
+
+## A Note regarding Python versions
+In principle, the C++ plugin supports both Python 2 and 3 (at least for the versions tested, i.e.
+2.7 and 3.5). However, the extensions themselves might only support one version of Python. This is
+currently the case for the extension manager.
