+Base classes for creating commands and syntax version object.
+
+This module exports several important base classes:
+
+    BaseData - The base abstract class for all data objects.  Data objects
+               are contained within a BaseHandler object.
+
+    BaseHandler - The base abstract class from which versioned kickstart
+                  handler are derived.  Subclasses of BaseHandler hold
+                  BaseData and KickstartCommand objects.
+
+    DeprecatedCommand - An abstract subclass of KickstartCommand that should
+                        be further subclassed by users of this module.  When
+                        a subclass is used, a warning message will be
+                        printed.
+
+    KickstartCommand - The base abstract class for all kickstart commands.
+                       Command objects are contained within a BaseHandler
+                       object.

+Methods for working with kickstart versions.
+
+This module defines several symbolic constants that specify kickstart syntax
+versions.  Each version corresponds roughly to one release of Red Hat Linux,
+Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or Fedora Core as these are where most syntax
+changes take place.
+
+This module also exports several functions:
+
+    makeVersion - Given a version number, return an instance of the
+                  matching handler class.
+
+    returnClassForVersion - Given a version number, return the matching
+                            handler class.  This does not return an
+                            instance of that class, however.
+
+    stringToVersion - Convert a string representation of a version number
+                      into the symbolic constant.
+
+    versionToString - Perform the reverse mapping.
+
+    versionFromFile - Read a kickstart file and determine the version of
+                      syntax it uses.  This requires the kickstart file to
+                      have a version= comment in it.

+"""An improvement on Python's standard cmd.py module.
+
+As with cmd.py, this module provides "a simple framework for writing
+line-oriented command intepreters."  This module provides a 'RawCmdln'
+class that fixes some design flaws in cmd.Cmd, making it more scalable
+and nicer to use for good 'cvs'- or 'svn'-style command line interfaces
+or simple shells.  And it provides a 'Cmdln' class that add
+optparse-based option processing. Basically you use it like this:
+
+    import cmdln
+
+    class MySVN(cmdln.Cmdln):
+        name = "svn"
+
+        @cmdln.alias('stat', 'st')
+        @cmdln.option('-v', '--verbose', action='store_true'
+                      help='print verbose information')
+        def do_status(self, subcmd, opts, *paths):
+            print "handle 'svn status' command"
+
+        #...
+
+    if __name__ == "__main__":
+        shell = MySVN()
+        retval = shell.main()
+        sys.exit(retval)
+
+See the README.txt or <http://trentm.com/projects/cmdln/> for more
+details.
