Sebastian Spaeth fa0b1ef8ee Add beginnings of sphinx-based code documentation
The docs still need some meat, but the infrastructure is in place. THis
allows us to generate the nice looking API documentation that many
python projects already have. We should document our API better, providing
an overview of the functionality available.
