 """
 ``ipipe`` provides classes to be used in an interactive Python session. Doing a
 ``from ipipe import *`` is the preferred way to do this. The name of all
 objects imported this way starts with ``i`` to minimize collisions.
 
 ``ipipe`` supports "pipeline expressions", which is something resembling Unix
 pipes. An example is:
 
     >>> ienv | isort("key.lower()")
 
 This gives a listing of all environment variables sorted by name.
 
 
 There are three types of objects in a pipeline expression:
 
 * ``Table``s: These objects produce items. Examples are ``ils`` (listing the
   current directory, ``ienv`` (listing environment variables), ``ipwd`` (listing
   user accounts) and ``igrp`` (listing user groups). A ``Table`` must be the
   first object in a pipe expression.
 
 * ``Pipe``s: These objects sit in the middle of a pipe expression. They
   transform the input in some way (e.g. filtering or sorting it). Examples are:
   ``ifilter`` (which filters the input pipe), ``isort`` (which sorts the input
   pipe) and ``ieval`` (which evaluates a function or expression for each object
   in the input pipe).
 
 * ``Display``s: These objects can be put as the last object in a pipeline
   expression. There are responsible for displaying the result of the pipeline
   expression. If a pipeline expression doesn't end in a display object a default
   display objects will be used. One example is ``ibrowse`` which is a ``curses``
   based browser.
 
 
 Adding support for pipeline expressions to your own objects can be done through
 three extensions points (all of them optional):
 
 * An object that will be displayed as a row by a ``Display`` object should
   implement the method ``__xattrs__(self, mode)`` method or register an
   implementation of the generic function ``xattrs``. For more info see ``xattrs``.
 
 * When an object ``foo`` is displayed by a ``Display`` object, the generic
   function ``xrepr`` is used.
 
 * Objects that can be iterated by ``Pipe``s must iterable. For special cases,
   where iteration for display is different than the normal iteration a special
   implementation can be registered with the generic function ``xiter``. This makes
   it possible to use dictionaries and modules in pipeline expressions, for example:
 
       >>> import sys
       >>> sys | ifilter("isinstance(value, int)") | idump
       key        |value
       api_version|      1012
       dllhandle  | 503316480
       hexversion |  33817328
       maxint     |2147483647
       maxunicode |     65535
       >>> sys.modules | ifilter("_.value is not None") | isort("_.key.lower()")
       ...
 
   Note: The expression strings passed to ``ifilter()`` and ``isort()`` can
   refer to the object to be filtered or sorted via the variable ``_`` and to any
   of the attributes of the object, i.e.:
 
       >>> sys.modules | ifilter("_.value is not None") | isort("_.key.lower()")
 
   does the same as
 
       >>> sys.modules | ifilter("value is not None") | isort("key.lower()")
 
   In addition to expression strings, it's possible to pass callables (taking
   the object as an argument) to ``ifilter()``, ``isort()`` and ``ieval()``:
 
       >>> sys | ifilter(lambda _:isinstance(_.value, int)) \
       ...     | ieval(lambda _: (_.key, hex(_.value))) | idump
       0          |1
       api_version|0x3f4
       dllhandle  |0x1e000000
       hexversion |0x20402f0
       maxint     |0x7fffffff
       maxunicode |0xffff
