        # METS Reader & Writer
        
        By [Artefactual](https://www.artefactual.com/)
        
        METSRW is a library to help with parsing and creating METS files.
        It provides an API, and abstracts away the actual creation of the XML.
        METSRW was initially created for use in [Archivematica](https://github.com/artefactual/archivematica/) and is managed as part of that project.

        ## Installation & Dependencies
        
        METSRW can be installed with pip.
        
        `pip install metsrw`
        
        METSRW has been tested with:
        
        * Python 2.7
        * Python 3.4
        * Python 3.6
        
        
        ## Basic Usage
        
        Read a METS file
        
            mets = metsrw.METSDocument.fromfile('path/to/file')  # Reads a file
            mets = metsrw.METSDocument.fromstring('<mets document>')  # Parses a string
            mets = metsrw.METSDocument.fromtree(lxml.ElementTree)  # Parses an lxml.Element or lxml.ElementTree
        
        Create a new METS file
        
            mets = metsrw.METSDocument()
