Description: pyrecoil
        ========
        
        *pyrecoil* provides Python bindings to `RECOIL <http://recoil.sourceforge.net/>`_, the Retro Computer Image Library, allowing you to open over 200 image file formats from retro computers.
        
        Installation
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        ::
        
            pip install pyrecoil
        
        ``pyrecoil`` is most usefull when installed in conjunction with `Pillow <http://pillow.readthedocs.org/>`_, the active fork of the Python Image Library::
        
            pip install Pillow
        
        Usage
        ~~~~~
        
        ::
        
            from recoil import RecoilImage
        
            # load image from disk and decode it:
            img = RecoilImage("foo.lbm")
        
            # load image from an existing file handle:
            # (filename must still be provided, as a hint to the decoder)
            img = RecoilImage("foo.lbm", f)
        
            # inspecting properties:
            img.colors  # number of colors used in the image
            > 16
        
            img.frames  # number of alternating frames (used for 'interlace' / 'gigascreen' effects)
            > 1
        
            img.size  # return a tuple of (width, height)
            > (320, 200)
        
            img.original_size  # for images that have been resized to account for non-square pixels
            > (320, 200)
        
            img.platform
            > 'Amiga'
        
            # Retrieving pixel data -
            # returns a bytearray consisting of three bytes (r, g, b) for each pixel,
            # in left-to-right, top-to-bottom order
            pixels = img.get_pixels()
        
            # convert to a PIL / Pillow image object:
            pil_image = img.to_pil()
            pil_image.save('foo.png')
        
        Build notes
        ~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        The RECOIL library itself (bundled in the ``recoil-3.2.0`` directory) is implemented in the `Ć Programming Language <http://cito.sourceforge.net/>`_. For ease of distribution, the generated C output (``recoil.c`` and ``recoil.h``) from the ``cito`` transpiler is included in the package - this, along with ``recoil_interface.c``, forms the Python extension module.
