Description: RobotPy NetworkTables Project
        =============================

            :target: https://travis-ci.org/robotpy/pynetworktables
        
        A pure python implementation of NetworkTables, originally derived from the
        java implementation.  NetworkTables are used to pass non-Driver
        Station data to and from the robot across the network.
        
        This implementation is intended to be compatible with python 2.7 and 3.4. All
        commits to the repository are automatically tested on all supported python
        versions using Travis-CI.
        
        .. note:: NetworkTables is a protocol used for robot communication in the
                  FIRST Robotics Competition, and can be used to talk to
                  SmartDashboard/SFX. It does not have any security, and should never
                  be used on untrusted networks.
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        
        For usage, detailed installation information, and other notes, please see
        our documentation at http://pynetworktables.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        On the RoboRIO, you don't install this directly, but use the RobotPy installer
        to install it on your RoboRIO, or it is installed by pip as part of the
        pyfrc setup process.
        
        On something like a coprocessor, driver station, or laptop, make sure pip is
        installed, connect to the internet, and install like so:
        
        ::
        
            pip install pynetworktables
        
        
        Implementation differences as of 2015
        -------------------------------------
        
        * Implementation is pure python, no SIP compilation required!
        * API is now based on the Java implementation, methods are
          now camelCase, instead of CapsCase
        * NetworkTables objects are found in the networktables package, and
          not in the pynetworktables package
        
        Support
        -------
        
        The RobotPy project has a mailing list that you can send emails to for
        support: robotpy@googlegroups.com. Keep in mind that the maintainers of
