Description: Python Cardano module
        =====================
        
        **This software is in early development phase. Please consider it experimental and don't rely on any
        API to be stable in the future.**
        
        There's release 0.6 available for those brave enough to try it.
        
        This module is the implementation of `the idea`_ submitted to Catalyst Project.
        
        .. _`the idea`: https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Python-module/333770-48088
        
        Prerequisites
        -------------
        
        1. You need to have a `cardano-node` running.
        2. You need to have a `cardano-wallet` running and connected to the node.
        3. The rest you find in the `documentation`_.
        
        Please note it is most safe to run both node and wallet software on your local machine. The network
        security is well beyond the scope of this documentation, though. Also, I strongly recommend using
        the Cardano *testnet* for any software development and testing.

        **Q:** Why the roadmap above differs so much from the plan presented in Catalyst proposal?
        
        **A:** While developing the module I discovered that some of the features I had originally declared
        were impossible to implement given the available tools. Also, the proposal lacked some features
        that are important but somehow I missed them when proposing. The roadmap consists of items I found
        both important and doable.
