  Description     : higher level API to Apache Zookeeper for Python clients.

Kazoo features:

* Support for gevent 0.13 and gevent 1.0b
* Unified asynchronous API for use with greenlets or threads
* Lock, Party, Election, and Partitioner recipe implementations (more
  implementations are in development)
* Data and Children Watchers
* Integrated testing helpers for Zookeeper clusters
* Simplified Zookeeper connection state tracking
* Pure-Python based implementation of the wire protocol, avoiding all the
  memory leaks, lacking features, and debugging madness of the C library

Kazoo is heavily inspired by Netflix Curator simplifications and helpers.
