Description: Teena: UNIX in Python
        =====================
        
        Teena aims to be a collection of ports of UNIX and Linux syscalls to
        pure Python, with an emphasis on performance and correctness. Windows
        support is not a primary concern—I’m initially targeting only
        POSIX-compliant operating systems. The library uses
        `Tornado <http://www.tornadoweb.org/>`_ to do efficient asynchronous
        I/O.
        
        The first version of this library will contain implementations of
        ``tee`` and ``splice`` which operate on files, sockets, and file
        descriptors. There’s also a ``Capture`` class which behaves like
        ``StringIO``, but it has a ``fileno()`` and so can be used where a real
        file descriptor is needed.
        
        Example
        -------
        
        I’ll demonstrate how to capture the result of an HTTP request, whilst
        efficiently streaming the response to ``stderr``.
        
        Do the necessary imports:
        
        ::
        
            >>> from contextlib import closing
            >>> import teena
            >>> import os
            >>> import sys
            >>> import urllib2
        
        Create a ``teena.Capture()`` object to capture the output:
        
        ::
        
            >>> capture = teena.Capture()
        
        Open a connection using ``urllib2.urlopen()``. This connection object
        has an associated file descriptor, so you can pass it directly into
        ``tee()``:
        
        ::
        
            >>> with closing(urllib2.urlopen('http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt')) as conn:
            ...     teena.tee(conn, (sys.stderr, capture.input))
            This really should not take 19 minutes to build.
            >>> print repr(capture.getvalue())
            'This really should not take 19 minutes to build.\n'
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        ::
        
            pip install teena
