"""This module provides bindings for the
U{libvlc<http://wiki.videolan.org/ExternalAPI>} and
U{MediaControl<http://wiki.videolan.org/MediaControlAPI>} APIs.

You can find documentation at U{http://www.advene.org/download/python-ctypes/}.

Basically, the most important class is L{Instance}, which is used to
create a libvlc Instance. From this instance, you can then create
L{MediaPlayer} and L{MediaListPlayer} instances.
