Fred Drake 53765753c4 Lots of new text and example code on embedding Python in C, contributed 
by Albert Hofkamp.  Some editing has been done for style and markup
consistency.

This also supplies an example of importing modules and calling a function
defined in the module, so this closes SF bug #440037 as well.

(The long example code was moved to a separate file so that it would
format properly.)

Fred Drake 5d54879647 Fix some of the example code; the reference objects do not support a

for this in an early version of the implementation.)

Reported by Mats Wichmann.

Fred Drake 8dd6ffd0ec User-defined methods *can* contain things other than user-defined functions
