Add ability to store Python code blocks to a silo file

Nobody has claimed this yet.

Users could Source the code blocks in a silo file for use within Silo's python module or maybe even something like VisIt. Matt O'Brien requested this.

Comments:

Start by examining Silo's Python module and the existing silo-file storage interfaces, then check how VisIt consumes such files. Define what a stored Python code block must look like and how it can be sourced; done means a silo file preserves the block and the Python module can retrieve it for execution.
