======

Burr Gherkins, Python's stubby little cousin to Ruby's Cucumber.

This aims to be a sane, Pythonic implementation of the `gherkin`_ style of

testing in the Python language.

What's it mean?

---------------

Maxixe, also known as burr gherkin, also known as `cucumis anguria`_ is a type

of small cucumber with spines.  Python's kind of a thorny language compared to

the feel-good do-anything langauges like Ruby, so while Ruby has the nice

simple Cucumber for its testing, it makes since that Python tests with spines.

This is how you `pronounce`_ it.

.. warning:: Until this message is removed, this is experimental at best and

             probably horribly broken in unique and interesting ways.  Please

             proceed with caution.
