## @defmethod @@pyobject dummy (@var{x})
## Does nothing, stores doctests for now.
##
##
## Simple example:
## @example
## @group
## g = pyobject (int32 (6))
##   @result{} g = [pyobject ...]
##
##       6
##
## sort (methods (g))
##   @result{} ans =
##     @{
##       [1,1] = bit_length
##       [2,1] = conjugate
##     @}
##
## sort (fieldnames (g))
##   @result{} ans =
##     @{
##       [1,1] = denominator
##       [2,1] = imag
##       [3,1] = numerator
##       [4,1] = real
##     @}
##
## g.numerator
##   @result{} ans =  6
## g.denominator
##   @result{} ans =  1
## @end group
## @end example
##
##
## You can delete an object in Python and it will persist:
## @example
## @group
## pyexec ("d = dict(one=1, two=2)")
## x = pyobject.fromPythonVarName ("d")
##   @result{} x = [pyobject ...]
##       @{'two': 2, 'one': 1@}
##
## # oops, overwrote d in Python:
## pyexec ("d = 42")
##
## # but have no fear, we still have a reference to it:
## x
##   @result{} x = [pyobject ...]
##       @{'two': 2, 'one': 1@}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## We can accesss ``callables'' (methods) of objects:
## @example
## @group
## x.keys ()
##   @result{} ans =
##       @{
##         [1,1] = two
##         [1,2] = one
##       @}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @code{pyeval} returns a @@pyobject for things it cannot convert to
## Octave-native objects:
## @example
## @group
## pyexec ("import sys")
## sysmodule = pyeval ("sys")
##   @result{} sysmodule = [pyobject ...]
##       <module 'sys' (built-in)>
## @end group
## @end example
##
## After you have the object, you can access its properties:
## @example
## @group
## sysmodule.version
##   @result{} ans = ...
## @end group
## @end example
##
##
## TODO: this should return a cell array with a double, a string,
## and an @@pyobject in it:
## @example
## @group
## pyeval ("[42, 'hello', sys]")         # doctest: +XFAIL
##   @result{} ans =
##       @{
##         [1,1] =  42
##         [1,2] = hello
##         [1,3] =
##           [PyObject id ...]
##           <module 'sys' (built-in)>
##       @}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## A @@pyobject can be passed back to Python.  This does not make
## a copy but rather a reference to the original object.
## For example:
## @example
## @group
## pycall ("__builtin__.print", sysmodule)   # doctest: +XFAIL
##   @print{} <module 'sys' (built-in)>
## @end group
## @end example
## (FIXME: I think this failure may correspond to an existing doctest issue).
