        Quick Usage
        ===========
        
        To see available options:
        
            palu.py --help
        
        To spider an entire site using 5 workers, only showing errors:
        
            palu.py --spiders=5 www.example.com
            
        To spider, stopping after the first level of links:
        
            palu.py --depth=1 www.example.com
            
        To get a list of every linked page on a site:
        
            palu.py --generate www.example.com > urls.txt
            
        Instead of spidering for URLs, use a file instead and show all responses:
        
            palu.py --input=urls.txt --verbose www.example.com
        
        Format of URLs File
        ===================
        
        The output produced by <code>--generate</code> is formatted like so:
        
            FIRST_URL<TAB>None
            LINK1<TAB>REFERER
            LINK2<TAB>REFERER
            
        <code>--input</code> can take a file of that format, or one URL per line with no referer. <code>--input=-</code> reads from stdin.
        
        Testing
        =======
        
        Palu uses Nose for testing. To install Nose and test:
        
            pip install -U nose
            nosetests
