+Originally developed at Sony Pictures Imageworks, pystring is a
+collection of C++ functions which match the interface and behavior
+of python's string class methods using std::string. Implemented
+in C++, it does not require or make use of a python interpreter.
+It provides convenience and familiarity for common string operations
+not included in the standard C++ library. It's also useful in
+environments where both C++ and python are used.
+
+Overlapping functionality (such as index and slice/substr) of
+std::string is included to match python interfaces.
+
+Originally developed at Sony Pictures Imageworks.

+
+Note: Despite the infrequent updates, this repo is not dead/abandoned
+- just stable! We use it every day at Imageworks.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
