[Xapian-devel] Added a python example to the community page

[aarsh shah]

Hey James , Hi :) Thanks for your review of the example. I saw some
questions on IRC,Help Wanted and in the FAQ about indexing single terms and
stemming strategies.Is it okay if I rewrite the example to answer those
questions ? We don't have any example currently which explains
doc.add_term( ) and stemming strategies .

-Regards
