The documentation suite contains usage examples and detailed explanation for each of the library's importable modules. Please refer to the Library API Documentation section of the documentation.
As the library contains some C components, building on Windows may prove tricky. To help address this, we've pre-compiled some win_amd64 wheels for you. These wheels are available on GitHub's Releases page, for each release.
