= What is py2geom =
it is a python lib that provides 2geom functionality. in other words: python bindings to 2geom. it has not been released in binaries yet, so you have to build them yourself from source or read on below...

= Some examples =
    #!/usr/bin/python
    import py2geom as geom
    a = geom.Point(1,2)
    b = geom.Point(31,2)
    print a, b
    print "Dot product:", geom.dot(a,b)
    print "a times 2:", a * 2
    print "Equal? (0 = no, 1 = yes):", a == b

= Obtaining binaries =

== Microsoft Windows ==
Johan built py2geom binaries for you and packaged them in a 7zip file: [http://smi.el.utwente.nl/~johan/py2geom-2023.7z py2geom-2023.7z] (svn rev. 2023)

You have to unpack the 7z file into "Lib\site-packages\" whereever you have python installed. For example: "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages", so you get "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\py2geom\..." with the files in it.

You can run test_lib2geom.py to see if python has found py2geom (it should do something, instead of complain of not finding python).
