+
+Tools to handle Gerber and Excellon files in Python.
+
+Usage Example:
+---------------
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import gerber
+    from gerber.render import GerberCairoContext
+
+    # Read gerber and Excellon files
+    top_copper = gerber.read('example.GTL')
+    nc_drill = gerber.read('example.txt')
+
+    # Rendering context
+    ctx = GerberCairoContext()
+
+    # Create SVG image
+    top_copper.render(ctx)
+    nc_drill.render(ctx, 'composite.svg')
+
+
+Rendering Examples

+
+Development and Testing
+-----------------------
+
+Dependencies for developing and testing pcb-tools are listed in test-requirements.txt. Use of a virtual environment is strongly recommended.
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+    $ virtualenv venv
+    $ source venv/bin/activate
+    (venv)$ pip install -r test-requirements.txt
+    (venv)$ pip install -e .
+
+We use nose to run pcb-tools's suite of unittests and doctests.
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+    (venv)$ nosetests
