        ==========
        
        Introduction
        ============
        
        Ezhil-Lang : எழில் - ஒரு தமிழ் நிரலாக்க மொழி; தமிழ் மாணவர்களுக்கு இது முதல்முறை கணிப்பொறி நிரல் ஏழுத உதவும் (Ezhil, is a fun Tamil programming language for K-12)
        Ezhil is a procedural language with dynamic types,
        like Ruby/Python. Ezhil has a pascal-like syntax,
        with for-end, while-end, if-elseif-else-end statements,
        break, continue and def-end for defining functions.
        
        Ezhil language is implemented in a handwritten scanner
        and parser using the Python programming language. Latest version of Ezhil-Language is v0.6.
        
        If you would like to tryout the code, all you need
        is a python interpreter, and the code from 
        https://github.com/arcturusannamalai/Ezhil-Lang/archive/latest.zip
        
        Interesting features include support for recursion,
        and an interactive interpreter. Ezhil supports a Turtle module
        for simple on-screen graphics, similar to LOGO language from 1960s.

        USAGE
        =====
        
        Currently Ezhil language is under development, and a little rough around the
        edges. You may still try it out, by going to the git source repository,
        
        $ cd ./ezhil-lang/
        
        and then use one of the three modes,
        
        1. Batch Mode
        2. Interactive Mode
        3. Web Mode
        
        Batch Mode
        ==========
        ```bash
        $ ./ez ./ezhil_tests/hello.n 
        பதிப்பி "வணக்கம்!"
        பதிப்பி "எழில் அழைக்கிறது"
        
        வணக்கம்!
        எழில் அழைக்கிறது
        ```
        
        where you should see the output above. For usage, try,
        ```bash
        $ ./ez --help
        usage:  [-h] [-debug] [-stdin] [files [files ...]]
        
        positional arguments:
          files
        
        optional arguments:
          -h, --help  show this help message and exit
          -debug      enable debugging information on screen
          -stdin      read input from the standard input
        ```
        
        Interactive Mode
        ================
        ```bash
        $ ./ez
        எழில் 1>> 1 + 5
        6
        எழில் 2>> பதிப்பி "வணக்கம்! எழில் அழைக்கிறது"
        வணக்கம்! எழில் அழைக்கிறது
        எழில் 3>> exit()
        ```
        
        Web Mode
        ========
        You can also run ezhil as a web service by launching the webserver,
        $ ./webserver.sh
        and open the webpage, http://localhost:8080 in google-chrome or firefox,
        to enter your program and evaluate it.
        
        Python Library
        ==============
        Ezhil Tamil programming Python package can be invoked from within the Python shell or IDLE on Windows, by simply typing,
        ```python
        >> import ezhil
        >> ezhil.start()
        ```
        
        But to do all of this, you need to build and install the Python packages from this source, by,
        ```bash
        $ cd ezhil-lang/ && python setup.py build
        $ cd ezhil-lang/ && python setup.py install
        ```
