"""Library to access del.icio.us data via Python.

:examples:

  Using the API class directly:

  >>> a = pydelicious.apiNew('user', 'passwd')
  >>> # or:
  >>> a = DeliciousAPI('user', 'passwd')
  >>> a.tags_get() # Same as:
  >>> a.request('tags/get', )

  Or by calling one of the methods on the module:

  - add(user, passwd, url, description, tags = "", extended = "", dt = "", replace="no")
  - get(user, passwd, tag="", dt="",  count = 0)
  - get_all(user, passwd, tag = "")
  - delete(user, passwd, url)
  - rename_tag(user, passwd, oldtag, newtag)
  - get_tags(user, passwd)

  >>> a = apiNew(user, passwd)
  >>> a.posts_add(url="http://my.com/", desciption="my.com", extended="the url is my.moc", tags="my com")
  True
  >>> len(a.posts_all())
  1
  >>> get_all(user, passwd)
  1

  This are short functions for getrss calls.

def get_tagposts(tag):
def get_urlposts(url):
def get_popular(tag = ""):

  >>> json_posts()

  >>> json_fans()

:License: pydelicious is released under the BSD license. See 'license.txt'
 for more informations.

:todo, bvb:
 - Rewriting comments to english. More documentation, examples.
 - Added JSON-like return values for XML data (del.icio.us also serves some JSON...)
 - better error/exception classes and handling, work in progress.

:todo:
 - Source code SHOULD BE ASCII!
 - More tests.
 - handling different encodings, what, how?
   >>> pydelicious.getrss(tag="t[a]g")
   url: http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/t[a]g
 - Parse datetimes in XML.
 - Test RSS functionality? HTML scraping doesn't work yet?
 - API functions need required argument checks.
 - interesting functionality in other libraries (ruby, java, perl, etc)?
 - what is pydelicious used for?
 - license, readme docs via setup.py verdelen?
 - automatic releas build

:done:
 * Refactored the API class, much cleaner now and functions dlcs_api_request, dlcs_parse_xml are available for who wants them.
