        ## Overview
        
        Superhelp is Help for Humans! The goal is to provide customised help for
        simple code snippets. Superhelp is not intended to replace the built-in Python
        help but to supplement it for basic Python code structures. Superhelp will
        also be opinionated. Help can be provided in a variety of contexts including
        the terminal and web browsers (perhaps as part of on-line tutorials).
        
        ## Quick Start
        
        Click the button below to open a Binder Jupyter Notebook you can play around
        in e.g. get advice on a line or snippet of Python
        
        [![Binder](https://mybinder.org/badge_logo.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/git/https%3A%2F%2Fgit.nzoss.org.nz%2FpyGrant%2Fsuperhelp.git/master?filepath=notebooks%2FSuperhelpDemo.ipynb)
        
        ## Installation
        
        Note - Python 3.6+ only. If you have an older version of Python use the Binder
        Jupyter Notebook button instead (see higher up)
        
        To install
        
        1) Use pip e.g.
        
            $ pip3 install superhelp
        
        or similar
        
            $ python3 -m pip install superhelp
        
        2) Or clone the repo
        
            $ git clone https://git.nzoss.org.nz/pyGrant/superhelp.git
            $ python3 setup.py install
        
        ## Example Use Cases
        
        * Charlotte is a Python beginner and wants to get advice on a five-line
        function she wrote to display greetings to a list of people. She learns about
        Python conventions for variable naming and better ways of combining strings.
        
        * Avi wants to get advice on a named tuple. He learns how to add doc strings
        to individual fields.
        
        * Zach is considering submitting some code to Stack Overflow but wants to
        improve it first (or possibly get ideas for a solution directly). He discovers
        that a list comprehension might work. He also becomes aware of dictionary
        comprehensions for the first time.
        
        * Noor has written a simple Python decorator but is wanting to see if there is
        anything which can be improved. She learns how to use functool.wrap from an
        example provided.
        
        * Al is an experienced Python developer but tends to forget things like doc
        strings in his functions. He learns a standard approach and starts using it
        more often.

        ## Notebook
        
        Add new cell at end with content like:
        
            %%shelp
            
            def sorted(my_list):
                sorted_list = my_list.sort()
                return sorted_list
        
        and run it to get advice.
        
        The notebook has more detailed instructions at the top.
        
        ## Local Installation
        
            $ shelp -h  ## get help on usage
        
            $ shelp --snippet "people = ['Tomas', 'Sal', 'Raj']" --displayer html --level Main
            $ shelp -s "people = ['Tomas', 'Sal', 'Raj']" -d html -l Main
        
            $ shelp --file-path my_snippet.py --displayer cli  --level Extra
            $ shelp -f snippet1.txt -d cli -l Brief
        
            $ shelp  ## to see advice on an example snippet displayed (level Extra)
        
            
        ## Stretch Ideas
        
        * Extend beyond standard library into popular libraries like requests, bottle, flask etc.
