[Casa-framework] python object

[Joseph P. McMullin]

The script sounds a reasonable route (not unlike the old Wim script
for sensing this (upfind I think).

You also pointed out that the tool.method docstrings are very short
and should exploit the content in the xml files - this should be added
to the list of things to do later; otherwise, we're back in the
familiar territory of having to change interface information in the
code and in the documentation separately - not good.
