        This software is a Python3 compatible fork of Luke Arnos library static_.
        
        The library is now Python3 compatible and Genshi_ support (the sucessor of
        kid_) is added. On Python2 Genshi and/or kid can be used as template engine. On
        Python3 only Genshi is available.
        
        This library provides an easy way to include static content
        in your WSGI applications. There is a convenience method for serving
        files located via pkg_resources. There are also facilities for serving
        mixed (static and dynamic) content using "magic" file handlers.
        Python builtin string substitution, kid and Genshi template support are provided
        and it is easy to roll your own handlers. Note that this distribution
        does not require kid or Genshi unless you want to use that type of template. Also
        provides a command of the same name as a convenience when you just want
        to share a little content over HTTP, ad hoc.
        
        Installation and Usage
        ----------------------
        
        Latest release via PIP::
        
            pip install static3
        
        Installation via GitHub::
        
            git clone https://github.com/rmohr/static3.git
            cd static3
            pip install .
        
        Cling
        ^^^^^
        
        `Cling` serves static content only. Just give it the base directory with your
        files you want to make accessible. You get a full WSGI app with an example as
        simple as that::
        
            from static import Cling
            from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
            my_app = Cling("/my/directory")
            make_server("localhost", 9999, my_app).serve_forever()
        
        Now you can access everything in the given directory via http://localhost:9999.
        
        Shock
        ^^^^^
        
        `Shock` has the same basic functionality like `Cling` but with Shock we can
        also have some templating fun. Shock comes with three templating backends.
        String substitution, kid and Genshi. The decision which backend to use is done
        by examining the extension of the file to serve. The file extensions are 'stp',
        'kid' and 'genshi'. So if you want to provide a file called 'index.html'  via
        the kid backend, name your file 'index.html.kid'. A short example might look
        like this::
        
            from static import Shock, KidMagic
            from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
            my_app = Shock("/my/directory", magics=[KidMagic(title="Hello World")])
            make_server("localhost", 9999, my_app).serve_forever()
        
        And the example 'index.html.kid'::
        
            <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" 
              xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#" 
              xml:lang="en">
              <head>
              </head>
              <body>
                <h1>$title</h1>
              </body>
            </html>
        
        A similar template 'index.html.genshi' for Genshi::
        
            <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" 
              xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/"
              xml:lang="en">
              <head>
              </head>
              <body>
                <h1>$title</h1>
              </body>
            </html>
        
        This simple application will replace the placeholder `title` with 'Hello World'
        in every provided file which ends in '.kid'.
        In this example it already is already obvious, that although different template
        engines can be used, they can only be used in a very `static` way. Never the
        less `Shock` is perfectly suitable for simple semi-static things like make the
        URL to your companies logo, or the company name variable.
        
        Unicode Support
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        When using a template system in Python3 it might be necessary to explicitly
        set an encoding for the sites provided. This can be done via the 
        `encoding` attribute of `Shock`::
        
            from static import Shock
            shock = Shock("/var/www/pub")
            shock.encoding="latin-1"
        
        When using `Cling` or `Shock` to serve static content the
        encoding need not to be set, as the content is just streamed through.
        If you have templates encoded in different formats, an instance of
        `Shock` needs to be instantiated for every codec used.
