#Getting started with voevent-parse

This tutorial should get you up and running with 

[voevent-parse](http://voevent-parse.readthedocs.org/), 

so that you can work effectively with the 

[VOEvent](http://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/IvoaVOEvent#VOEvent) 

data format. 

It also covers some of the basics on 

[XML](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xml) and 

[lxml.objectify](http://lxml.de/objectify.html).

This tutorial is intended to accompany the 

[Notes on VOEvent](http://voevent.readthedocs.org). 

If you're new to VOEvents, I suggest you read those pages first. 

Both this tutorial, and the notes, were originally written to support the 

hands-on session at the 

[Hotwired Universe IV](http://lcogt.net/hotwired-iv-welcome/) 

conference, but should be accessible to anyone familiar with Python.

##Requirements

* [voevent-parse](http://voevent-parse.readthedocs.org/en/latest/intro.html#installation)

* [IPython](http://ipython.org/install.html) 

  (IPython [notebook](http://ipython.org/notebook.html) strongly recommended, 

  but not essential.)

##Running the code

Run IPython Notebook from this directory and load up the notebooks. 

Or, if you prefer a regular (I)Python terminal, you can read through the 

``.py`` versions and copy-paste the code snippets as you go along.

##Ready-made versions

Can't be bothered to download this repo? Just want a quick reference?
