Mike Hommey 9b2ce4e9a9 Bug 1427468 - Allow to run mach python without a virtualenv. r=nalexander
Sometimes, one just wants to run a one-off script with access to all
(or most) the libraries available like mozbuild, etc. but without
the weight of the whole virtualenv, which implies having an objdir
setup, etc.

One of my use cases is to run our preprocessor before the objdir is even
setup, and I'd rather not have one automatically created.

..

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
