Description: README
        ======
        
        EULfedora is a `Python <http://www.python.org/>`_ module that provides
        utilities, API wrappers, and classes for interacting with the
        `Fedora-Commons Repository <http://fedora-commons.org/>`_ (versions
        3.4.x and 3.5) in a pythonic, object-oriented way, with optional
        `Django <https://www.djangoproject.com/>`_ integration.
        
        **eulfedora.api** provides complete access to the Fedora API,
        primarily making use of Fedora's 
        `REST API <https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FCR30/REST+API>`_.  This
        low-level interface is wrapped by **eulfedora.server.Repository** and
        **eulfedora.models.DigitalObject**, which provide a more abstract,
        object-oriented, and Pythonic way of interacting with a Fedora
        Repository or with individual objects and datastreams.
        
        **eulfedora.indexdata** provides a webservice that returns data for
        fedora objects in JSON form, which can be used in conjunction with a
        service for updating an index, such as `eulindexer`.
        
        When used with `Django <https://www.djangoproject.com/>`_,
        **eulfedora** can pull the Repository connection configuration from
        Django settings, and provides a custom management command for loading
        simple content models and fixture objects to the configured
        repository.
