.SH NAME
ivycpy \- a Python library for accessing Ivy Bus
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B # importing ivycpy 

.B from ivycpy import *

.B # tbc 

.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B ivycpy library.

This Python library (actually C wrapper around ivy-c library) allow
to use Ivy bus using Python. This library is a wrapper above ivyc library (>=3.8)
and procures functions to plug a Python application onto the Ivy Bus.

This version is strictly compatible with ivy-c [3.8] and can be
dynamically linked to a new version of ivy-c, if ivy-c api is unchanged which is
quite unlikely.

.PP
Ivycpy is developped using SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator),
see http://www.swig.org for further inforation on SWIG.

.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
.SH EXAMPLES
Some examples of Python scripts are provided in
/usr/share/doc/ivycpy(version)/examples directory .
