#573 closed enhancement (fixed)

Python bindings should have a module doc string

Description

At the moment help(xapian) uses a description extracted from the SWIG comment at the top of xapian.py; we should instead insert a doc string before it that is briefly helpful and points people to the online docs. (Ideally to a quickstart localised to python, once we have one.)
