+"""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.
