/// FromPyObject is implemented by various types that can be extracted from a Python object.
///
/// Normal usage is through the `PyObject::extract` helper method:
/// ```let obj: PyObject = ...;
/// let value = try!(obj.extract::<TargetType>(py));
/// ```
///
/// TODO: update this documentation
/// Note: depending on the implementation, the lifetime of the extracted result may
/// depend on the lifetime of the `obj` or the `prepared` variable.
///
/// For example, when extracting `&str` from a python byte string, the resulting string slice will
/// point to the existing string data (lifetime: `'source`).
/// On the other hand, when extracting `&str` from a python unicode string, the preparation step
/// will convert the string to UTF-8, and the resulting string slice will have lifetime `'prepared`.
/// Since only which of these cases applies depends on the runtime type of the python object,
/// both the `obj` and `prepared` variables must outlive the resulting string slice.
///
/// In cases where the result does not depend on the `'prepared` lifetime,
/// the inherent method `PyObject::extract()` can be used.
