Description: breadability - another readability Python port
        ===============================================
        I've tried to work with the various forks of some ancient codebase that ported
        `readability`_ to Python. The lack of tests, unused regex's, and commented out
        sections of code in other Python ports just drove me nuts.
        
        I put forth an effort to bring in several of the better forks into one
        codebase, but they've diverged so much that I just can't work with it.
        
        So what's any sane person to do? Re-port it with my own repo, add some tests,
        infrastructure, and try to make this port better. OSS FTW (and yea, NIH FML,
        but oh well I did try)
        
        This is a pretty straight port of the JS here:
        
        - http://code.google.com/p/arc90labs-readability/source/browse/trunk/js/readability.js#82
        
        
        Installation
        -------------
        This does depend on lxml so you'll need some C headers in order to install
        things from pip so that it can compile.
        
        ::
        
            sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
            pip install breadability
        
        
        Usage
        ------
        
        cmd line
        ~~~~~~~~~
        
        ::
        
            $ breadability http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide
        
        Options
        ``````````
        
          - b will write out the parsed content to a temp file and open it in a
            browser for viewing.
          - f will override the default behaviour of getting an html fragment (<div>)
            and give you back a full <html> document.
          - v will output in verbose debug mode and help let you know why it parsed
            how it did.
        
        
        Using from Python
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        ::
        
            from breadability.readable import Article
            readable_article = Article(html_text, url=url_came_from)
            print readable_article
        
        
        Work to be done
        ---------------
        Yep, I've got some catching up to do. I don't do pagination, I've got a lot of
        custom tweaks I need to get going, there are some articles that fail to parse.
        I also have more tests to write on a lot of the cleaning helpers, but
        hopefully things are setup in a way that those can/will be added.
        
        Fortunately, I need this library for my tools:
        
        - https://bmark.us
        - http://readable.bmark.us
        
        so I really need this to be an active and improving project.
        
        
        Off the top of my heads todo list:
        
          - Support metadata from parsed article [url, confidence scores, all
            candidates we thought about?]
          - More tests, more thorough tests
          - More sample articles we need to test against in the test_articles
          - Tests that run through and check for regressions of the test_articles
          - Tidy'ing the HTML that comes out, might help with regression tests ^^
          - Multiple page articles
          - Performance tuning, we do a lot of looping and re-drop some nodes that
            should be skipped. We should have a set of regression tests for this so
            that if we implement a change that blows up performance we know it right
            away.
          - Get up on pypi along with the rest of the ports
          - More docs for things, but sphinx docs and in code comments to help
            understand wtf we're doing and why. That's the biggest hurdle to some of
            this stuff.
        
        Helping out
        ------------
        If you want to help, shoot me a pull request, an issue report with broken
        urls, etc.
        
        You can ping me on irc, I'm always in the `#bookie` channel in freenode.
