  Description     : Pure Python Multicast DNS Service Discovery Library (Bonjour/Avahi compatible)


This is an implementation of the multicast DNS Service Discover Library zeroconf in pure Python.
It is a dependency of pychromecast which I also intend to package.

Compared to some other Zeroconf/Bonjour/Avahi Python packages, python-zeroconf:

 - isn't tied to Bonjour or Avahi
 - doesn't use D-Bus
 - doesn't force you to use particular event loop or Twisted
 (- is pip-installable)
 (- has PyPI distribution)


I plan to maintain the package as part of the Python Modules team.
