This package aims to provide a fluent interface for acquiring variant records

from the Leiden Open Variation Database (LOVD). It is by no means feature-complete,

and its API is not stable enough for production use. That said, if you do decide 

to experiment with any of its client interfaces, feel free to provide feedback.

## Installation

The `lovd` package is available on PyPI as `lovdtools`, so you can simply install it 

with `pip` (or your favorite drop-in):

```bash

# Create a new virtual environment to avoid dependency conflicts.

python -m venv lovdenv

# Activate the newly created virtual environment.

source ./lovdenv/bin/activate

# Upgrade `pip` to the latest version, as a best practice.

pip install --self-upgrade

# Install the package.

pip install lovdtools

```

After running the above commands, the `lovd` package should be available to

your Python interpreter. You can confirm this by running the following command:

```bash

python -c import lovd

```

If the above command does not yield any error output, then you have successfully

installed `lovdtools`.

## Contributing

I hope these tools will prove helpful to whomever needs to query LOVD. If you would

like to contribute, please fork the repository, make your changes, and then submit

a pull request, as you would with any other open-source contribution.
