Description: The Python File Format Interface, briefly PyFFI, is an open source
        Python library for processing block structured binary files:
        
        * **Simple:** Reading, writing, and manipulating complex binary files
          in a Python environment is easy! Currently, PyFFI supports the
          NetImmerse/Gamebryo NIF and KFM formats, CryTek's CGF format, the
          FaceGen EGM format, the DDS format, and the TGA format.
        
        * **Batteries included:** Many tools for files used by 3D games, such
          as optimizers, stripifier, tangent space calculator, 2d/3d hull
          algorithms, inertia calculator, as well as a general purpose file
          editor QSkope (using `PyQt4
          <http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download>`_), are
          included.
        
        * **Modular:** Its highly modular design makes it easy to add support
          for new formats, and also to extend existing functionality.
        
        Download
        --------
        
        Get PyFFI from
        `Sourceforge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyffi/files/>`_,
        or install it with::
        
            easy_install -U PyFFI
        
        To get the latest (but possibly unstable) code, clone PyFFI from its
        `Git repository <http://github.com/amorilia/pyffi>`_::
        
            git clone --recursive git://github.com/amorilia/pyffi.git
        
        Be sure to use the --recursive flag to ensure that you also get all
        of the submodules.
        
        If you wish to
        code on PyFFI and send your contributions back upstream, get a `github
        account <https://github.com/signup/free>`_ and `fork PyFFI
        <http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/>`_.
        
        Examples
        --------
        
        * The `Blender NIF Scripts
          <https://sourceforge.net/projects/niftools/files/blender_nif_scripts/>`_
          and the `Blender CGF Scripts
          <https://sourceforge.net/projects/colladacgf/files/>`_ use
          PyFFI to import and export these files to and from Blender.
        
        * `QSkope
          <http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=199269&ssid=75973>`_,
          PyFFI's general purpose file editor.
        
        * The niftoaster (PyFFI's "swiss army knife") can for instance
          `optimize nif files
          <http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Nif_Optimization>`_,
          and much more.
