            ===================
             
        ```
        Pyvarnam is a python wrapper to the [libvarnam](https://github.com/varnamproject/libvarnam) library.
        
        [Varnam](http://www.varnamproject.com/) is an open-source transliterator suited for Indian languages and the
        main component is a C library called `libvarnam`. Pyvarnam provides python bindings for libvarnam.
        
        ##### Installation
        
        You need to install libvarnam for pyvarnam to work. You could refer [libvarnam installation](https://github.com/varnamproject/libvarnam#installing-libvarnam) to find out how to install libvarnam.
        
        You can install it from PyPi using
        
        ```
        pip install pyvarnam
        ```
        
        Or you can download the archive, un-tar/zip and `cd` into the directory you unzipped the
        archive into, and then run
        
        ```
         user@user-pc:~/unzipped-dir$ python setup.py install
        ```
        
        ##### Usage
        
        To transliterate with pyvarnam, you just have to run the following.
        ```
        from pyvarnam import varnam
        
        var_lib = varnam()
        var_lib.varnam_init_from_id("ml")
        result = var_lib.varnam_transliterate("varnam")
        if result is not None:
            print result[0][0]
            
        ```
        
        As of now only some of the functions mentioned in libvarnam/api.h has been implemented. You could refer `varnam.py` to
        see which all functions are available. 
        
        ##### Running the tests
        
        A basic test suite has been implemented based on the transliteration tests in
        libvarnam. To run them, `cd` to the `tests` folder in the archive and run
        
        ```
        python test.py
        ```
        Currently pyvarnam has only been tested in Debian. If you find any bugs or would like to suggest some other changes,
        report the issue here or feel free to contact me.
