python/*: Moved a lot of Python stuff here
The criteria for whether something "belongs" in Development or Libraries or Python or ... is admittedly arbitrary. As a general rule, if it could be either Libraries or Python, it's Python. Otherwise, pick one and we'll go from there... Signed-off-by: Robby Workman <rworkman@slackbuilds.org>

+Twisted.Web2 is an experimental web server built with Twisted. Useful Web2
+functionality will be backported to TwistedWeb until TwistedWeb is as
+featureful as Web2, then Web2 will be abandoned.
+
+Improvements over Twisted.Web:
+* Streaming upload data
+* Separation of low level HTTP and high level request handling which allows
+ it to run under other transports such as SCGI and CGI
+* IResource API improvements from Nevow
+* More versatile outgoing data streaming API
+* Correct header parsing
+* Full HTTP/1.1 support
+* Output filters (HTTP range support in a generic fashion, and gzip support)
+* Significantly better URI Rewriting when used behind a proxy such as Apache's
+ mod_proxy
+
+Twisted Web2 is available under the MIT Free Software licence.
+
+Requires: python-twisted
