Subject: [PATCH] fire.py: Use fire on arbitrary file or module. (#35)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* fire.py: Use fire on arbitrary file or module.

Based on the discussion at [Use fire without editing code directly · Issue #29 · google/python-fire](https://github.com/google/python-fire/issues/29)

Of course, still needs better error handling, documentation, installation support, etc.

* rename fire.py to fire_script.py in repo

Should fix the build problem for python 2.  Later, get it installed as "fire" via setup.py

* rename fire_script.py __main__.py
