## Installation

To install, simply use `pip` or `easy_install`:
Install this library in a [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/) using pip. virtualenv is a tool to

With virtualenv, it's possible to install this library without needing system
install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system
dependencies.
