Description: Hachoir project
        ===============
        
        Hachoir is a Python library used to represent of a binary file as a tree of
        Python objects. Each object has a type, a value, an address, etc. The goal is
        to be able to know the meaning of each bit in a file.
        
        Why using slow Python code instead of fast hardcoded C code? Hachoir has many
        interesting features:
        
        * Autofix: Hachoir is able to open invalid / truncated files
        * Lazy: Open a file is very fast since no information is read from file,
        data are read and/or computed when the user ask for it
        * Types: Hachoir has many predefined field types (integer, bit, string, etc.)
        and supports string with charset (ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, UTF-16, ...)
        * Addresses and sizes are stored in bit, so flags are stored as classic fields
        * Endian: You have to set endian once, and then number are converted in the
        right endian
        * Editor: Using Hachoir representation of data, you can edit, insert, remove
        data and then save in a new file.

        Installation
        ============
        
        For the installation, use setup.py or see: http://bitbucket.org/haypo/hachoir/wiki/Install
        
        hachoir-core 1.3.3 (2010-02-26)
        ===============================
        
        * Add writelines() method to UnicodeStdout
        
        hachoir-core 1.3.2 (2010-01-28)
        ===============================
        
        * MANIFEST.in includes also the documentation
        
        hachoir-core 1.3.1 (2010-01-21)
        ===============================
        
        * Create MANIFEST.in to include ChangeLog and other files for setup.py
        
        hachoir-core 1.3 (2010-01-20)
        =============================
        
        * Add more charsets to GenericString: CP874, WINDOWS-1250, WINDOWS-1251,
        WINDOWS-1254, WINDOWS-1255, WINDOWS-1256,WINDOWS-1257, WINDOWS-1258,
        ISO-8859-16
        * Fix initLocale(): return charset even if config.unicode_stdout is False
        * initLocale() leave sys.stdout and sys.stderr unchanged if the readline
        module is loaded: Hachoir can now be used correctly with ipython
        * HachoirError: replace "message" attribute by "text" to fix Python 2.6
        compatibility (message attribute is deprecated)
        * StaticFieldSet: fix Python 2.6 warning, object.__new__() takes one only
        argument (the class).
        * Fix GenericFieldSet.readMoreFields() result: don't count the number of
        added fields in a loop, use the number of fields before/after the operation
        using len()
        * GenericFieldSet.__iter__() supports iterable result for _fixFeedError() and
        _stopFeeding()
        * New seekable field set implementation in
        hachoir_core.field.new_seekable_field_set
        
        hachoir-core 1.2.1 (2008-10)
        ============================
        
        * Create configuration option "unicode_stdout" which avoid replacing
        stdout and stderr by objects supporting unicode string
        * Create TimedeltaWin64 file type
        * Support WINDOWS-1252 and WINDOWS-1253 charsets for GenericString
        * guessBytesCharset() now supports ISO-8859-7 (greek)
        * durationWin64() is now deprecated, use TimedeltaWin64 instead
        
        hachoir-core 1.2 (2008-09)
        ==========================
        
        * Create Field.getFieldType(): describe a field type and gives some useful
        informations (eg. the charset for a string)
        * Create TimestampUnix64
        * GenericString: only guess the charset once; if the charset attribute
        if not set, guess it when it's asked by the user.
        
        hachoir-core 1.1 (2008-04-01)
        =============================
        
        Main change: string values are always encoded as Unicode. Details:
        
        * Create guessBytesCharset() and guessStreamCharset()
        * GenericString.createValue() is now always Unicode: if charset is not
        specified, try to guess it. Otherwise, use default charset (ISO-8859-1)
        * RawBits: add createRawDisplay() to avoid slow down on huge fields
        * Fix SeekableFieldSet.current_size (use offset and not current_max_size)
        * GenericString: fix UTF-16-LE string with missing nul byte
        * Add __nonzero__() method to GenericTimestamp
        * All stream errors now inherit from StreamError (instead of HachoirError),
        and create  and OutputStreamError
        * humanDatetime(): strip microseconds by default (add optional argument to
        keep them)
        
        hachoir-core 1.0 (2007-07-10)
        =============================
        
        Version 1.0.1 changelog:
        * Rename parser.tags to parser.PARSER_TAGS to be compatible
        with future hachoir-parser 1.0
        
        Visible changes:
        * New field type: TimestampUUID60
        * SeekableFieldSet: fix __getitem__() method and implement __iter__()
        and __len__() methods, so it can now be used in hachoir-wx
        * String value is always Unicode, even on conversion error: use
        * OutputStream: add readBytes() method
        * Create Language class using ISO-639-2
        * Add hachoir_core.profiler module to run a profiler on a function
        * Add hachoir_core.timeout module to call a function with a timeout
        
        Minor changes:
        * Fix many spelling mistakes
        * Dict: use iteritems() instead of items() for faster operations on
        huge dictionaries
