+py-1.4.0: cross-python lib for path, code, io, ... manipulations
+===========================================================================
+
+"py" is a small library comprising APIs for filesystem and svn path
+manipulations, dynamic code construction and introspection, a Py2/Py3
+compatibility namespace ("py.builtin"), IO capturing, terminal colored printing
+(on windows and linux), ini-file parsing and a lazy import mechanism.
+It runs unmodified on all Python interpreters compatible to Python2.4 up
+until Python 3.2.  The general goal with "py" is to provide stable APIs
+for some common tasks that are continously tested against many Python
+interpreters and thus also to help transition. Here are some docs:
+
+    http://pylib.org
+
+NOTE: The prior py-1.3.X versions contained "py.test" which now comes
+as its own separate "pytest" distribution and was just released
+as "pytest-2.0.0", see here for the revamped docs:
+
+    http://pytest.org
+   
+And "py.cleanup|py.lookup|py.countloc" etc. helpers are now part of
+the pycmd distribution, see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycmd
+
+This makes "py-1.4.0" a simple library which does not install
+any command line utilities anymore.

+Changes between 1.3.4 and 1.4.0
+-------------------------------------
+
+- py.test was moved to a separate "pytest" package. What remains is
+  a stub hook which will proxy ``import py.test`` to ``pytest``.
+- all command line tools ("py.cleanup/lookup/countloc/..." moved
+  to "pycmd" package)
+- removed the old and deprecated "py.magic" namespace
+- use apipkg-1.1 and make py.apipkg.initpkg|ApiModule available
+- add py.iniconfig module for brain-dead easy ini-config file parsing
+- introduce py.builtin.any()
+- path objects have a .dirname attribute now (equivalent to
+  os.path.dirname(path))
+- path.visit() accepts breadthfirst (bf) and sort options
+- remove deprecated py.compat namespace
