Barret Rennie d6512e4d2f Bug 1885948 - Pass IPDL sources to ipdl.py in a text file r=nika,ahochheiden
If the path to your source checkout on Windows is sufficiently long enough, you
can hit the Windows maximum commandline argument limit (32k) specifying IPDL
files to ipdl.py during build. Writing the list of files to a file and passing
that to ipdl.py gets around this error completely.

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).
