Description: ==========================================
        Pysieve -- fast prime factoring for python
        ==========================================
        
        Pysieve is a simple wrapper of the msieve prime factorization library.
        It basically gives you a fast factor command and some utilities.
        
        For now it is only tested on OSX with python 2.6 and msieve146 but it
        should work on Linux as well.  It assumes that the msieve library is
        installed in a standard location (i.e /usr/local/lib, /usr/lib or on
        OSX with macports /opt/local/lib)
        
        Functions in the package
        ========================
        
        * factor(n): returns a list of the prime factors of n
        
        * dfactor(n): returns a list of distinct prime factors of n (no
          duplicates)
        
        * facExponents(n): returns a list of tuples, each containing a prime
          factor of n and its exponent
        
        TODO 
        ==== 
        * _pysieve is installed as seperate package. I somehow can't
        	define it to be a subpackage of pysieve (like pysieve._pysieve)
