   2 ghosd for Python
   3
   4 Right now, this does not contain bindings for ghosd, but a simple hack
   5 to bring parametrable ghosd'ed text display facility to Python. It
   6 doesn't rely on any high-level Python bindings (PyGTK, Pycairo, ...)
   7 either. Usage is pretty simple:
   8
   9 >>> from ghosd import flash_text
  10 >>> flash_text(\"<span font_desc='Trebuchet 30'>Hello, world!</span>\")
