    example::

        my_policy = Policy('media.example.com', 'api.example.com')

    The property ``xml_dom`` of the returned ``Policy`` object will be
    an ``xml.dom.minidom.Document`` representing the resulting policy,

        that you use explicit domains rather than wildcards.

        For socket policy files, pass a list of ports or port ranges
