* Wrote the text description explaining each step in the most basic
  encryption operation.
* Will need to include additional examples for encrypting to multiple
  recipients using Context().encrypt instead of Context().op_encrypt.

fa4927146b docs: python bindings howto update.
* Added all four signing code examples that are most likely to be
  used: armoured, clearsigned, detached armoured and detached binary.
* May remove some examples and just discuss the differences, but it
  depends on the way the text is filled out.

75463d5895 doc: Basic operation of the python bindings
* Added sample code for encrypting some text to a single key.
* Basically I'm just lifting existing production code and changing the
  key IDs from mine to "0x12345678DEADBEEF" for these first few
  examples.
* I'll fill in the text description after.
* Note: due to my regional location, I might split some tasks into
  more commits in order to be sure no work gets lost in case of
  emergency (or to put it another way: I know Telstra too well to
  trust them).

a98f2c556f doc-howto: fundamental aspects of GPGME vs Python
* Added a section for those pythonistas who are too used to web
  programming.  Stressed that it's not simply not RESTful, it's not
  even REST-like.
* Letting me move on to drawing a very loose parallel between a
  session and a context.  The differences should become obvious in the
  subsequent sections.
