Welcome to pydataportability

pydataportability is a set of libraries for managing the open web. It contains components for managing XRDS-Simple, XRD, microformats and in the future much more.

pydataportability.xrds

A parser for XRDS-Simple.

pydataportability.microformats

A parser for microformats which supports hCard and XFN at the moment.
