[Bf-python] python mathutils radians bug decision

[Joseph Gilbert]

The extremely old bug can be resolved by having Object.getEuler() and  
Object.setEuler() return degrees. Currently the results from these methods  
are garbage. i.e. These 2 methods are broken. They are taking radians from  
the underlying object and returning them as 'degrees' without a conversion.

The reason this has never been fixed is because the entire mathutils  
library needs to be converted to using/returning radians. I *cough* agree  
with stivs that the mathutils library should have been implemented using  
radians. The main reason being that the python math library uses radians  
(as most math libraries do) as input. I don't see why the open bug report  
can't be closed (by fixing the above methods to return degrees) and then  
the radians issue be added as a api v2 feature. There is no immediacy for  
radians conversion (other than it is the more correct way of working with  
angles).
