        This package provides a mechanism to embed FORM_ [1]_ [2]_ [3]_ programs in
        Python code. The basic idea of the implementation is the same as FormLink_ [4]_:
        it utilizes unnamed pipes between FORM and an external program [5]_, Python in
        this case. It is expected to work on Unix-like systems.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        ::
        
            $ pip install python-form
        
        or directly from GitHub for the latest development version:
        
        ::
        
            $ pip install git+https://github.com/tueda/python-form.git
        
        See also the documentation for `pip install`_.
        
        Example
        -------

            import form
        
            with form.open() as f:
                f.write('''
                    AutoDeclare Vector p;
                    Local F = g_(0,p1,...,p6);
                    trace4,0;
                    .sort
                ''')
