        This package provides a set of Python language bindings for the Enchant
        spellchecking library.  For more information, visit the project website:
        
            http://pyenchant.github.io/pyenchant/
        
        What is Enchant?
        ----------------
        
        Enchant is used to check the spelling of words and suggest corrections
        for words that are miss-spelled.  It can use many popular spellchecking
        packages to perform this task, including ispell, aspell and MySpell.  It
        is quite flexible at handling multiple dictionaries and multiple
        languages.
        
        More information is available on the Enchant website:
        
            https://abiword.github.io/enchant/
        
        
        How do I use it?
        ----------------
        
        For Windows users, install the pre-built binary packages using
        pip::
        
            pip install pyenchant
        
        
        These packages bundle a pre-built copy of the underlying enchant library.
        Users on other platforms will need to install "enchant" using their system
        package manager (brew on macOS).
        
        Once the software is installed, python's on-line help facilities can
        get you started.  Launch python and issue the following commands:
        
            >>> import enchant
            >>> help(enchant)
        
        
        
        Who is responsible for all this?
        --------------------------------
        
        The credit for Enchant itself goes to Dom Lachowicz.  Find out more details
        on the Enchant website listed above.  Full marks to Dom for producing such
        a high-quality library.
        
        The glue to pull Enchant into Python via ctypes was written by Ryan Kelly.
        He needed a decent spellchecker for another project he was working on, and
        all the solutions turned up by Google were either extremely non-portable
        (e.g. opening a pipe to ispell) or had completely disappeared from the web
        (what happened to SnakeSpell?)  It was also a great excuse to teach himself
        about SWIG, ctypes, and even a little bit of the Python/C API.
        
        Finally, after Ryan stepped down from the project, Dimitri Merejkowsky
        became the new maintainer.
