  Description     : Python encapsulation of the Ferret data analysis and 
visualization toolkit

PyFerret is a Python module wrapping Ferret.  The pyferret module provides 
Python functions so Python users can easily take advantage of the Ferret's 
abilities to retrieve, manipulate, visualize, and save data.  There are also 
functions to move data between Python and the Ferret engine.   Python scripts 
used as Ferret external functions.

But PyFerret can also be used as a transparent replacement for the traditional 
Ferret executable.  A simple script starts Python and enters the pyferret 
module, giving the traditional Ferret interface.  This script also support all 
of Ferret's command-line options.

Inside the PyFerret wrapper is a complete, but enhanced Ferret engine.  One 
very noticeable enhancement is improved graphics which can be saved in common 
image formats.  (Sorry, no more GKS metafiles.)  Also, PyFerret comes packaged 
with many new statistical and shapefile function which are, in fact, Python 
scripts making use of third-party Python modules.
