        Overview
        --------
        
        A primary goal of the python-maec library is to remain faithful to both the
        MAEC standard and to customary Python practices. There are places where these
        will conflict, and the goal is to make the library intuitive both to those
        familiar with the XML schemas (but less familiar with Python) and also to
        experienced Python developers who want to add MAEC support to their programs.
        
        There are currently two levels of APIs for dealing with MAEC content:
        
        - A low-level API is provided by auto-generated XML Schema - Python class
          bindings. These bindings were generated using `generateDS
          <http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/generateDS.html>`_. With these, any MAEC
          content can be parsed from or written to XML, but requires a bit more
          knowledge of the actual MAEC schemas. These "binding classes" are all located
          in the ``maec.bindings`` package.
        - A higher-level API consisting of manually designed Python classes.  These
          "native classes" are intended to behave more like Python programmers would
          expect. As they are designed manually, they currently do not support the
          entire MAEC standard, but rather those object types we expect are used most
          frequently. These "native classes" also support exporting their content as
          Python dictionaries and lists, which can easily be converted to JSON.
          Importing from JSON is also supported.
        
        Compatibility
        -------------
        The python-maec library is tested and written against python ``2.7.x``. Compatibility with other python versions is neither guaranteed nor implied.
        
        Versioning
        ----------
        
        Releases of the python-maec library will be given version numbers of the form
        ``major.minor.update.revision``, where ``major``, ``minor``, and ``update``
        correspond to the MAEC version being supported. The ``revision`` number is used
        to indicate new versions of the python-maec library itself.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        The ``maec`` package depends on the following Python libraries: \* ``lxml`` >=
        3.1.x \* ``python-cybox`` >= 2.1.x.x \* ``setuptools`` (only if installing
        using setup.py)
        
        For Windows installers of the above libraries, we recommend looking here:
        http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs. python-cybox can be found at
        https://github.com/CybOXProject/python-cybox/releases.
        
        To build ``lxml`` on Ubuntu, you will need the following packages from the
        Ubuntu package repository:
        
        -  python-dev
        -  libxml2-dev
        -  libxslt1-dev
        
        For more information about installing lxml, see
        http://lxml.de/installation.html
