  Description     : Python implementation of the Sane API



Python implementation of the Sane API (using ctypes) and abstration
layer.

The code is divided in 3 layers:

    rawapi : Ctypes binding to the raw Sane API
    abstract : An Object-Oriented layer that simplifies the use of the
Sane API and try to avoid possible misuse of the Sane API. When
scanning, it also takes care of returning a Pillow image.
    abstract_th : The Sane API is not thread-safe and cannot be used in
a multi-threaded environment easily. This layer solves this problem by
using a fully dedicated thread.
