[Developers] Python libraries

[Alec Flett]

I've been one of the the more lax maintainers of the freebase-python  
library, but I'm happy to have other folks contribute, and if someone  
wants to help me out (Tom?) in maintaining this, that would be great!

The process for submitting patches is much like any other google code   
project - create an issue, and attach a patch. I'll try to incorporate  
it ASAP. It is definitely time for a new release.
