Description: ============
        Introduction
        ============
        
        ``epl`` (pronounced 'epple') provides enhanced package logistics
        
        ``epl`` strives to be a *new* type of manager for virtual environments and
        packages. It will also attempt to incorporate several recent additions to the
        Python Standard Library in order to take advantage of all the wonder that is
        Python 3.
        
        .. note::
           epl will only run on ``Python >= 3.6``
        
        
        Background
        ----------
        
        When I first started developing with Python, the latest version was 3.4, which
        is what I used. I've never had any reason to to go back and learn much about
        Python2. Over the years now, my Python skills have (I hope) improved, as has
        the Python language itself.
        
        One of the most *difficult* things I've had to master as a Python developer is
        dealing with Packaging and Dependency Management. In addition, although I've
        been a big fan of `virtualenv <https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/>`_ and
        `virtualenvwrapper <https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_,
        as of Python 3.3, the Standard Library includes its own `venv` module and I 
        would like to explore the possibilities with that.
        
        ``epl`` is an exploration for me at this point. If things go 
        **really, really well**, it could be the *next big thing* 😜.
        On the other hand, it could die a horrible death next month, as
        I throw up my hands and run screaming for the exits...🤯
        
        .. note::
           This project is in its embryonic stage and I am uploading it
           to PyPi more as a formality at this point. I have not yet granted access
           to the source code repo - I would like to get a few ideas down more
           concretely before I open this project to the world.
           I have every intention of doing so - stay tuned...
        
        
        Objectives
        ----------
        
        ``epl`` is inspired by `pip <https://github.com/pypa/pip>`_
        and `Pipenv <https://pipenv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_
        but yearns to be somehthing a little bit more - and also a little bit less.
        
        + No backwwards compatibility with Python 2
        + Avoid as many external dependencies as possible
        + Explore the possibility of a 'core' install capability that can be used to
          bootstrap the initial install of ``epl``
        + Subclass the ``venv.EnvBuilder`` class in the Standard Library
          to implement virtual environments
        + Implement *TDD* and *BDD* right from the start
        + Implement type hints, using the new ``typing`` module, introduced in Python 3.5
        + Implement Pipfile and Pipfile.lock, rather than requirements.txt.
          `See the Pipfile project on GitHub <https://github.com/pypa/pipfile>`_
        + Implement checks of signed code using ``GPG``
        + Provide the ability to completely package and deploy the recursive set of
          dependencies in addition to the target package, for installation of packages
          when there is no network availability
        + Specify Build System dependencies using ``pyproject.toml``, as described in
          `PEP 518 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/>`_
        
        
        Installing
        ----------
        
        Install and update using ``pip``:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
           pip install -U epl
