        ------------------
        
        ``jaraco.windows`` aims to provide a pure-python interface to Windows
        APIs using ctypes. This package is not designed to be exhaustive, but
        rather to supply interfaces as they are needed by the contributors.
        
        ``jaraco.windows`` is written by Jason R. Coombs.  It is licensed under an

        Package Contents
        ----------------
        
        ``jaraco.windows`` contains several modules for different purposes. For now,
        read the source. Eventually, I hope to put high-level descriptions of the modules
        here.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        You should install this module the normal way using pip or easy_install.
        
        If you want to monkeypatch the os module to include symlink compatibility, you
        should add the following to your ``usercustomize`` or ``sitecustomize`` module:
        
        	``import jaraco.windows.filesystem as fs; fs.patch_os_module()``
        
        Thereafter, you should be able to use ``os.symlink`` and ``os.readlink`` in Windows
        Vista and later using the same interface as on Unix.
        
        Note that ``jaraco.windows.filesystem.symlink`` takes an additional optional
        parameter ``target_is_directory``, which must be specified if the target is not
        present and is expected to be a directory once present.
        
        Contribute
        ----------
        
        If jaraco.windows doesn't supply the interface you require for your
        application, consider creating the interface and providing a patch
        to the author.
