  Keep the README in-sync with intro.rst in the sphinx docs!

  The travis image isn't really useful on readthedocs, and also causes

  sphinx warnings, so it should be excluded.

Intended Audience

=================

pyplates are intended to be used with the `Amazon Web Services CloudFormation

`_ service. If you're already a

CloudFormation (CFN) user, chances are good that you've already come up with

fun and interesting ways of generating valid CFN templates. pyplates are a

way to make those templates while leveraging all of the power that the python

environment has to offer.

What is a pyplate?

==================

A pyplate is a class-based python representation of a JSON CloudFormation

template and resources, with the goal of generating cloudformation

templates based on input python templates (pyplates!) that reflect the

cloudformation template hierarchy.

Features

========

- Allows for easy customization of templates at runtime, allowing one

  pyplate to describe all of your CFN Stack roles (production, testing,

  dev, staging, etc).

- Lets you put comments right in the template!

- Supports all required elements of a CFN template, such as Parameters,

  Resources, Outputs, etc.)

- Supports all intrinsic CFN functions, such as base64, get_att, ref,

  etc.

- Converts intuitiviely-written python dictionaries into JSON templates,

  without having to worry about nesting or order-of-operations issues.
