Summary	0002669: Registration of scripted displayable managers
Description	Currently it is not possible to register a scripted (Python) displayable manager. There is some commented out code in "qSlicerLayoutManager" to load " vtkScriptedExampleDisplayableManager.py" (see https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/master/Base/QTGUI/qSlicerLayoutManager.cxx#L138), but there is no universal mechanism for this. There is also currently no way to register it within a scripted module. For a full discussion please see this mailing list thread: http://slicer-devel.65872.n3.nabble.com/Add-custom-annotations-cube-cone-to-3D-view-tc4026402.html
