Description: hachoir-parser is a package of most common file format parsers written for
        Hachoir framework. Not all parsers are complete, some are very good and other
        are poor: only parser first level of the tree for example.
        
        A perfect parser have no "raw" field: with a perfect parser you are able to
        know *each* bit meaning. Some good (but not perfect ;-)) parsers:
        
        * Matroska video
        * Microsoft RIFF (AVI video, WAV audio, CDA file)
        * PNG picture
        * TAR and ZIP archive
        
        GnomeKeyring parser requires Python Crypto module:

        hachoir-parser 1.3.2
        ====================
        
        * Include the README file in the tarball
        * setup.py reads the README file instead of using README.py to break the
        build dependency on hachoir-core
        
        hachoir-parser 1.3.1 (2010-01-28)
        =================================
        
        * Create MANIFEST.in to include extra files: README.py, README.header,
        tests/run_testcase.py, etc.
        * Create an INSTALL file
        
        hachoir-parser 1.3 (2010-01-20)
        ===============================
        
        * New parsers:
        
        - BLP: Blizzard Image
        - PRC: Palm resource
        
        * HachoirParserList() is no more a singleton:
        use HachoirParserList.getInstance() to get a singleton
        * Add tags optional argument to createParser(), it can be used for example to
        force a parser
        * Fix ParserList.print_(): first argument is now the title and not 'out'.
        If out is not specified, use sys.stdout.
        * MP3: support encapsulated objects (GEOB in ID3)
        * Create a dictionary: Windows codepage => charset name (CODEPAGE_CHARSET)
        * ASN.1: support boolean and enum types; fix bit string parser
        * MKV: use textHandler()
        * AVI: create index parser, use file size header to detect padding at the end
        * ISO9660: strip nul bytes in application name
        * JPEG: add ICC profile chunk name
        * PNG: fix transparency parser (tRNS)
        * BPLIST: support empty value for markers 4, 5 and 6
        * Microsoft Office summary: support more codepages (CP874, Windows 1250..1257)
        * tcpdump: support ICMPv6 and IPv6
        * Java: add bytecode parser, support JDK 1.6
        * Python: parse lnotab content, fill a string table for the references
        * MPEG Video: parse much more chunks
        * MOV: Parse file type header, create the right MIME type
        
        
        hachoir-parser 1.2.1 (2008-10-16)
        =================================
        
        * Improve OLE2 and MS Office parsers:
        - support small blocks
        - fix the charset of the summary properties
        - summary property integers are unsigned
        - use TimedeltaWin64 for the TotalEditingTime field
        - create minimum Word document parser
        * Python parser: support magic numbers of Python 3000
        with the keyword only arguments
        * Create Apple/NeXT Binary Property List (BPLIST) parser
        * MPEG audio: reject file with no valid frame nor ID3 header
        * Skip subfiles in JPEG files
        * Create Apple/NeXT Binary Property List (BPLIST) parser by Robert Xiao
        
        hachoir-parser 1.2 (2008-09-03)
        ===============================
        
        * Create FLAC parser, written by Esteban Loiseau
        * Create Action Script parser used in Flash parser,
        written by Sebastien Ponce
        * Create Gnome Keyring parser: able to parse the stored passwords using
        Python Crypto if the main password is written in the code :-)
        * GIF: support text extension field; parse image content
        (LZW compressed data)
        * Fix charset of IPTC string (guess it, it's not always ISO-8859-1)
        * TIFF: Sebastien Ponce improved the parser: parse image data, add many
        tags, etc.
        * MS Office: guess the charset for summary strings since it could be
        ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8
        
        hachoir-parser 1.1 (2008-04-01)
        ===============================
        
        Main changes: add "EFI Platform Initialization Firmware
        Volume" (PIFV) and "Microsoft Windows Help" (HLP) parsers. Details:
        
        * MPEG audio:
        
        - add createContentSize() to support hachoir-subfile
        - support file starting with ID3v1
        - if file doesn't contain any frame, use ID3v1 or ID3v2 to create the
        description
        
        * EXIF:
        
        - use "count" field value
        - create RationalInt32 and RationalUInt32
        - fix for empty value
        - add GPS tags
        
        * JPEG:
        
        - support Ducky (APP12) chunk
        - support Comment chunk
        - improve validate(): make sure that first 3 chunk types are known
        
        * RPM: use bzip2 or gzip handler to decompress content
        * S3M: fix some parser bugs
        * OLE2: reject negative block index (or special block index)
        * ip2name(): catch KeybordInterrupt and don't resolve next addresses
        * ELF: support big endian

        detection
