**NOTE**: this library is in **maintenance mode** and should not be used in new code.

The py lib is a Python development support library featuring
the following tools and modules:

* ``py.path``:  uniform local and svn path objects  -> please use pathlib/pathlib2 instead
* ``py.apipkg``:  explicit API control and lazy-importing -> please use the standalone package instead
* ``py.iniconfig``:  easy parsing of .ini files -> please use the standalone package instead
* ``py.code``: dynamic code generation and introspection (deprecated, moved to ``pytest`` as a implementation detail).

**NOTE**: prior to the 1.4 release this distribution used to
contain py.test which is now its own package, see https://docs.pytest.org
