        Purpose
        -------
        This library allows programmers to work with a native representation of bit vectors within Python.
        
        Package Installation and Usage
        ------------------------------
        The package is available on PyPI::
        
            python -m pip install bitlist
        
        The library can be imported in the usual way::
        
            import bitlist
            from bitlist import bitlist
        
        An example of usage (a bitwise addition function) is provided below::
        
            from bitlist import bitlist
            def add(x, y):
                """Bitwise addition algorithm."""
                r = bitlist(0)
        
                # Upper bound is not inclusive.
                # Use negative indices for big-endian interface.
                carry = 0
                for i in range(1, max(len(x), len(y)) + 1):
                    r[-i] = (x[-i] ^ y[-i]) ^ carry
                    carry = (x[-i] & y[-i]) | (x[-i] & carry) | (y[-i] & carry)
                r[-(max(len(x), len(y)) + 1)] = carry
        
                return r
        
        Testing and Conventions
        -----------------------
        Unit tests can be executed using `nose <https://nose.readthedocs.io/>`_::
        
            nosetests
        
        Additional unit tests included in the module itself can be executed using `doctest <https://docs.python.org/3/library/doctest.html>`_::
        
            python bitlist/bitlist.py -v
        
        Style conventions are enforced using `Pylint <https://www.pylint.org/>`_::
        
            pylint bitlist
