        Python parsers for Igor Binary Waves (.ibw) and Packed Experiment
        (.pxp) files written by WaveMetrics' IGOR Pro software.
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        Packages
        --------
        
        If `igor` already exists in your package manager's repository, you
        should install `igor` in the usual way.
        
        Gentoo
        ~~~~~~
        
        I've packaged `igor` for Gentoo.  You need layman_ and my `wtk
        overlay`_.  Install with::
        
            # emerge -av app-portage/layman
            # layman --add wtk
            # emerge -av sci-misc/igor
        
        Dependencies
        ------------
        
        If you're installing by hand or packaging `igor` for another
        distribution, you'll need the following dependencies:
        
        ===========  =================  ============================
        Package      Debian_            Gentoo_
        ===========  =================  ============================
        Numpy_       python-numpy       dev-python/numpy
        Matplotlib_  python-matplotlib  dev-python/matplotlib
        Nose_        python-nose        dev-python/nose
        ===========  =================  ============================
        
        Installing by hand
        ------------------
        
        `igor` is available as a Git_ repository::
        
            $ git clone git://tremily.us/igor.git
        
        See the homepage_ for details.  To install the checkout, run the
        standard::
        
            $ python setup.py install
        
        You can also automate this installation with pip_::
        
            $ pip install igor
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        See the docstrings and unit tests for examples using the Python API.
        The package also installs to scripts, ``igorbinarywave.py`` and
        ``igorpackedexperiment.py`` which can be used to dump files to stdout.
        For details on their usage, use the ``--help`` option.  For example::
        
          $ igorbinarywave.py --help
        
        For users transitioning from igor.py_, there's a compatibility module
        exposing the old interface.  Just change::
        
          import igor
        
        to::
        
          import igor.igorpy as igor
        
        in your calling code.
        
        Testing
        =======
        
        Run internal unit tests with::
        
            $ nosetests --with-doctest --doctest-tests igor test
        
        The data in the ``test/data`` directory is in the Git repository, but
        it is not bundled with the source code.  If you want the test data,
        you'll have to clone the Git repository or download a snapshot.

        Release procedure
        -----------------
        
        When a new version of the package is ready, increment __version__
        in ``igor/__init__.py`` and run update-copyright_::
        
            $ update-copyright.py
        
        to update the copyright blurbs.  Then run::
        
            $ python setup.py sdist upload
        
        This will place a new version on PyPI.
