NiceLib is a package for rapidly developing "nice" Python bindings to C libraries, using cffi.

NiceLib accomplishes this in two main ways: first, it converts header files (macros and all) into a format usable by cffi (i.e. it preprocesses them); second, it provides an API for quickly and cleanly defining pythonic mid-level interfaces that wrap low-level libraries.

For further information, documentation, examples, and more, see our page on ReadTheDocs <http://nicelib.readthedocs.org/>_.
