        ==========
        
        Info
        ----
        
        `isbntools` provides several useful methods and functions 
        to validate, clean and transform ISBN strings.
        
        Typical usage:
        
        ```python
        
            #!/usr/bin/env python
            import isbntools
        ```
        
        Several scripts are provided to use from the command line:
        
        * `to_isbn10` `ISBN13` : transforms an ISBN10 number to ISBN13
        * `to_isbn13` `ISBN10` : transforms an ISBN13 number to ISBN10
        * `isbn_info` `ISBN`   : gives you the `group identifier` of the ISBN
        * `isbn_mask` `ISBN`   : *masks* (hyphenate) an ISBN (split it by identifiers)
        * `isbn_meta` `ISBN`   : gives you the main metadata associated with the ISBN (uses wcat.org)
        * `isbn_validate`      : to use with *posix pipes* (e.g. `cat ISBNs | isbn_validate`)
        * `isbntools`          : writes version and copyright notice
        
        
        Install
        -------
        
        ```
        pip install isbntools
             or
        easy_install isbntools
             or
        pip install isbntools-0.7.2.zip (first you have to download the file!) 
        ```
        
        Known Issues
        ------------
        
        1. Some of the methods don't work with ISBNs with group identifier `979` 
           (will be fixed in next version)
        2. The `meta` method and the `isbn_meta` script sometimes gives a wrong result, 
           this is due to errors on the wcat.org service
