        This port is needed because many python hooks to the original code such as `pypotrace` have installation issues and compilation problems with some OSes. This potrace is written in pure python and will be compatible with basically anything.
        
        # Installing
        
        To install or use as a requirement:
        * `pip install potracer`
        
        ### Potrace-CLI
        If you wish to use the Command Line Interface that is stored in a sister project `potrace-cli` (https://github.com/tatarize/potrace-cli). This can be installed with:
        * `pip install potracer[cli]`
        
        or:
        
        * `pip install potrace-cli`
        
        The cli project contains valid console script entrypoints for potrace. If you install the command-line package it will add `potracer` to your console scripts. Note the -r suffix so that it does not interfere with potrace that may be otherwise installed.
        
        # Requirements
        * numpy: for bitmap structures.
        
        # Speed
        Being written in python this code may be about 500x slower than the pure-c potrace. It is however fast enough for general use.
        
        # Parallel Projects
        This project intentionally duplicates a considerable amount of the API of `pypotrace` such that this library can be used as a drop-in replacement.
        
        This library offers CLI potrace as an optional package, to permit performing potrace commands from the commandline.
