Currently the source code and the examples are the only documentation.  It
follows a bit from the apt API, though, so reading that documentation would
probably help as well.

Unfortunately, because of the dynamic way that the object members are
accessed (look at the *Attr functions in the source), there are no
docstrings and dir() doesn't work.  I am thinking of changing it to
statically define things for this reason.
