"""Python Bindings for Neuroshare
---------------------------------

The Neuroshare API is a standardized interface to access
electrophysiology data stored in various different file
formats. To do so, it uses format- specific shared libraries.
Refer to the official website
     		    http://neuroshare.org
for more information.

The aim of this library is to provide a high level interface
to the Neuroshare API, i.e. it focuses on API usability more
then being a mere python version of the C API. Thus none of
the original Neuroshare API calls are directly exposed but
the interface is through python objects that resemble (more
or less) the Neuroshare Entities.
