Description: -----
        Taxon
        -----
        
        Taxon is a tagged data store with persistence to a Redis backend. It allows you to organize and query Redis data sets with tags.
        
        Features
        --------
        
        - Fully queryable. Supports expressions using ``And``, ``Or``, and ``Not`` operations as well as direct tag lookup.
        - Persistent. Data is stored in Redis.
        - Integrated. Taxon wraps ``Redis`` objects, and proxies Redis commands to Taxon through it.
        
        Getting Started
        ---------------
        
        First install the taxon package with pip:
        
        ::
            
            $ pip install -U redis-taxon
        
        Then you can instantiate Taxon stores in your code that wrap ``Redis`` objects from `redis-py`_.
        
        .. _redis-py: https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py
        
        ::
            
            import redis
            import taxon
        
            t = taxon.Taxon(redis.Redis())
        
        To tag data, use the ``tag`` method on a ``taxon.Taxon`` object.
        
        ::
            
            t.tag('feature', ['issue-312', 'issue-199', 'issue-321'])
            t.tag('experimental', ['issue-199'])
        
        To get the items associated with the tag, you can provide the ``Store.query`` method with the name of the tag. The return value is a tuple of the key in which the result is stored, and the set of items in the result.
        
        ::
            
            key, items = t.query('feature')
        
        Querying
        --------
        
        Taxon allows the dataset to be queried with arbitrary expressions and supports ``And``, ``Or``, and ``Not`` operations. The query syntax is a small DSL implemented directly in Python.
        
        ::
            
            from taxon import Taxon
            from taxon.query import And, Or, Not
        
            # get issue tracker items with no action required
            t = Taxon(my_redis_object)
            _, items = t.query(Or('invalid', 'closed', 'wontfix'))
        
        Query expressions can also be arbitrarily complex.
        
        ::
            
            # get issue tracker items marked feature or bugfix, but not experimental
            _, items = t.query(And(Or('feature', 'bugfix'), Not('experimental')))
        
        There is an alternate query syntax available using the ``Tag`` member from ``taxon.query`` which uses operators instead of classes. The operators are ``&`` for ``And``, ``|`` for ``Or``, and ``~`` for ``Not``. The above query in operator syntax looks like this:
        
        ::
            
            from taxon.query import Tag
            _, items = t.query((Tag('feature') | Tag('bugfix')) & ~Tag('experimental'))
