"""Package Install Manager for Python.

This is currently a MacOSX-only strawman implementation. 
Motto: "He may be shabby, but he gets you what you need" :-) 

Tools to allow easy installation of packages. The idea is that there is
an online XML database per (platform, python-version) containing packages
known to work with that combination. This module contains tools for getting
and parsing the database, testing whether packages are installed, computing
dependencies and installing packages.

There is a minimal main program that works as a command line tool, but the
intention is that the end user will use this through a GUI.
