Python API

---------- Particle patch from Cédric Paille: bugfixes and child-particles export improvements for .getLoc(), part.getRot() part.getSize(), part.getAge() methods. Also fix a bug with part.randemission getter (was using PART_BOIDS_2D instead of PART_TRAND), plus typos and duplications in API documentation.
