Allow to set python object using JavascriptBindings.SetProperty()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Let's say I have a big class with lots of methods, allow me to bind the whole 
object and all its methods with just one line.

{{{
bindings.SetProperty("myobject", myobject)
}}}

In javascript you will be able to call:

{{{
window.myobject.method1()
window.myobject.method2()
window.myobject.method3()
}}}

Also make properties accessible:

{{{
window.myobject.property1
window.myobjevt.property2
}}}

Setting python object should also be possible using Frame.SetProperty().

We can list all methods/properties of a python object using dir():

{{{
class a:
    d = 1
    e = 2
    def b():
            pass
    def c():
            pass
a1 = a()
dir(a)
}}}

Returns:

{{{
['__doc__', '__module__', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
}}}

All methods and properties that do not start with _ (checking single underscore 
should be enough) are considered public and will be made accessible to 
javascript provided that their types is one of:

 * list
 * bool
 * float
 * int
 * None
 * dict
 * string
 * function
 * instancemethod

# Here's a prototype

class Tester:
    def __init__(self):
        pass
    def echoMe(self, str):
        return "String: [%s]" % str

def bindClass(bindings, classObject):
    for name in dir(classObject):
        if name[0] == '_':
            continue
        att = getattr(classObject, name)
        class_name = classObject.__class__.__name__
        if hasattr(att, '__call__'):
            bindings.SetFunction("%s_%s" % (class_name, name), att)

obj = Tester()
bindClass(bindings, obj)

"""
Now you can call the method in JS like this:  
  Tester_echoMe("some text")
"""

There is a new method: [JavascriptBindings].SetObject().

This feature will make it into next 0.41 release.
