Houdini bindings for Python (c.f. https://github.com/vmg/houdini)

installation
------------

Installation is with pip:

```bash
pip install houdini
```

You need to have the houdini shared library available somewhere on your dynamic
linker’s search path—some instructions are provided below.

usage
-----

```pycon
>>> import houdini
>>> print(houdini.escape_html("3 < 5"))
3 > 5
```

The API is as described in the [library’s README][vmg/houdini], except all
these functions accept a unicode string and return a unicode string. If no
escaping is done, the return value will be the original string:

[vmg/houdini]: https://github.com/vmg/houdini

```pycon
>>> string = "hello"
>>> houdini.escape_html(string) is string
True
```

getting that shared library
---------------------------

I submitted [a pull request](https://github.com/vmg/houdini/pull/7) adding the
capability to produce shared libraries to Houdini’s Makefile. Until/unless
that’s merged, you’ll need to use [my
fork](https://github.com/zacharyvoase/houdini) to build those libraries. It
should be simple:

```bash
git clone 'https://github.com/zacharyvoase/houdini.git'
cd houdini
make
```

Then, for **Linux**:

```bash
sudo cp libhoudini.so /usr/local/lib
sudo ldconfig # Refresh the dynamic linker cache.
```

and on **OS X** (you may not want to use `sudo` here, `/usr/local/` is normally
user-writable):

```bash
cp libhoudini.dylib /usr/local/lib
```
