Description: Hachoir library
        ===============
        
        Hachoir is a library written in Python which allows to represent the content
        of file into a tree of fields. A field is the most basic information: a
        number, a string, a boolean, etc. Many parser are included: PNG picture, AVI
        video, MP3 audio, etc.
        
        Some Hachoir features:
        * Smart parser syntax ;
        * Nice API based on objects ;
        * Lazy parser ;
        * Many ways to explore field set ;
        * Able to fix some parser/file errors.
