        -- XenStore access the Python way!


What is ``pyxs``?
-----------------

It's a pure Python XenStore client implementation, which covers all of
the ``libxs`` features and adds some nice Pythonic sugar on top. Here's
a shortlist:

* ``pyxs`` supports both Python 2 and 3,
* works over a Unix socket or XenBus,
* has a clean and well-documented API,
* is writen in easy to understand Python,
* can be used with `gevent <http://www.gevent.org>`_ or
  `eventlet <http://eventlet.net>`_.

Installation
------------

If you have `pip <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable>`_ you can do the usual::

    pip install --user pyxs

Otherwise, download the source from `GitHub <https://github.com/selectel/pyxs>`_
and run::

    python setup.py install
