===================
Kitchen.core Module
===================

:Author: Toshio Kuratomi
:Date: 2 Jan 2012
:Version: 1.1.x

The Kitchen module provides a python API for all sorts of little useful
snippets of code that everybody ends up writing for their projects but never
seem big enough to build an independent release.  Use kitchen and stop cutting
and pasting that code over and over.

Requirements

kitchen.core requires

:python: 2.3.1 or later

Soft Requirements
=================

If found, these libraries will be used to make the implementation of soemthing
better in some way.  If they are not present, the API that they enable will
still exist but may function in a different manner.

:chardet_: Used in kitchen.text.xml.guess_encoding__to_xml() to help guess encoding of
    byte strings being converted.  If not present, unknown encodings will be
    converted as if they were latin1.

.. _chardet:: http://chardet.feedparser.org/

---------------------------
Other Recommended Libraries
---------------------------

These libraries implement commonly used functionality that everyone seems to
invent.  Rather than reinvent their wheel, I simply list the things that they
do well for now.  Perhaps if people can't find them normally, I'll add them as
requirements in setup.py or link them into kitchen's namespace.  For now, I
just mention them here:

:bunch_: Bunch is a dictionary that you can use attribute lookup as well as
    bracket notation to access.  Setting it apart from most homebrewed
    implementations is the bunchify() function which will descend nested
    structures of lists nad dicts, transforming the dicts to Bunch's.

.. _bunch:: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bunch/

Building, and testing
