        The ``predicates`` module provides a variety of `predicates`, `predicate
        factories`, and `predicate partials`.
        
            "A predicate is a function that returns the truth value of some
            condition."
        
            -- Andrew M. Kuchling,
               `Python Functional Programming HOWTO <http://docs.python.org/2/howto/functional.html#built-in-functions>`_
        
        `Predicate factories` are functions which *create* new predicates
        based on their arguments (e.g., ``_and``, ``_nargs``). `Predicate
        partials` are functions created by `partial application <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_application>`_ of a
        predicate's arguments.
        
        Complete `project documentation
        <http://predicates.readthedocs.org/>`__ is available. Project source
        is available at the `github project page
        <https://github.com/agoraplex/predicates>`__.
        
        
        Install
        -------
        
        To install from PyPI::
        
            $ pip install predicates
        
        
        Developer installation
        ----------------------
        
        To install the development version from the `github repository
        <https://github.com/agoraplex/predicates>`__::
        
            $ git clone https://github.com/agoraplex/predicates.git predicates
            $ cd predicates
            $ virtualenv-2.7 --no-site-packages venv
            $ pip install -e '.[docs,tests]'
        
        .. note::
        
           Pay particular attention to that `pip install` line. That's a
           `period`, followed by ``[docs,tests]`` [#hack]_ (and it's in
           single-quotes to keep bash from misunderstanding the square
           brackets).
        
        Use `nosetests` to run the test suite::
        
            $ python setup.py nosetests
        
        Use Sphinx to generate the HTML docs::
        
            # to build in build/sphinx/html/...:
            $ python setup.py build_sphinx
        
            # to build in docs/_build/html/... (which is what I do):
            $ make -C docs
        
        .. [#hack] Yes, it's a hack. See the `python setup.py develop and
           extras <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2012-November/019369.html>`__
