Description: Odfpy aims to be a complete API for OpenDocument in Python.
 Unlike other more convenient APIs, this one is essentially an abstraction
 layer just above the XML format. Odfpy is a library to read and write 
 OpenDocument v. 1.1 files. The main focus has been to prevent the programmer
 from creating invalid documents. It has checks that raise an exception if the
 programmer adds an invalid element, adds an attribute unknown to the grammar,
 forgets to add a required attribute or adds text to an element that doesn't 
 allow it. These checks and the API itself were generated from the RelaxNG 
 schema, and then hand-edited. Therefore the API is complete and can handle 
 all ODF constructions, but could be improved in its understanding of data 
 types. Take a look at the Getting Started page then consult the Reference 
 Manual.
