Description: Overview
        ========
        
        The need to represent instances of money frequently arises in software
        development, particularly any financial/economics software.  To
        address that need, the py-moneyed package provides the classes of
        Money and Currency, at a level more useful than just using Python's
        Decimal class, or ($DEITY forbid) the float primitive.  The package is
        meant to be stand-alone and easy to either use directly, or subclass
        further.  py-moneyed is BSD-licensed.
        
        Some of the py-moneyed code was first derived from python-money
        available via this URL: http://code.google.com/p/python-money/ Because
        that Google Code version has been inactive since May 2008, I forked it
        and modified it for my needs in 2010. Compared to python-money, major
        changes here in py-moneyed include separating it from Django usage,
        tightening types handling in operators, a complete suite of unit
        tests, PEP8 adherence, providing a setup.py, and local currency
        formatting/display.
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        On to the code! The Money class is instantiated with:
        
        - An amount which can be of type string, float, or Decimal.  
        - A currency, which usually is specified by the three-capital-letters
          ISO currency code, e.g. USD, EUR, CNY, and so on.
        
        For example,
        
        .. sourcecode:: python
        
            from moneyed.classes import Money
            sale_price_today = Money(amount='99.99', currency='USD')
        
        The Money class also provides operators with type checking, matching
        currency checking, and sensible dimensional behavior, e.g. you cannot
        multiply two Money instances, nor can you add a Money instance to a
        non-Money number; dividing a Money instance by another results in a
        Decimal value, etc.
        
        The Currency class is provided with a complete dictionary of ISO 4217
        currencies data, each key (e.g. 'USD') mapping to a Currency instance
        with ISO numeric code, canonical name in English, and countries using
        the currency.  Thanks to the python-money developers for their
        (possibly tedious) data-entry of the ISO codes!
        
        Testing
        -------
        
        Unit-tests have been provided, and can be run with tox_ (recommended)
        or just py.test.
        
        If you don't have tox installed on your system, it's a modern Python
        tool to automate running tests and deployment; install it to your
        global Python environment with: ::
        
            sudo pip install tox
            
        Then you can activate a virtualenv (any will do - by design tox will
        not run from your globally-installed python), cd to the py-moneyed
        source directory then run the tests at the shell: ::
        
            cd where/py-moneyed-source/is
            tox
        
        If you do not have all versions of Python that are used in testing,
        you can use pyenv_. After installing pyenv, install the additional
        plugin pyenv-implict_.
        
        The py-moneyed package has been tested with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3 
        and PyPy 2.1.

        Future
        ------
        
        Future versions of py-moneyed may provide currency conversions or
        other capabilities, dependent on feedback and usage.
