        author: Grant Paton-Simpson
        
        ## 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.
        
        # Example Usage
        
        ## 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)
        
            
        ## TODO Options
        
        1) Extend advice further to encourage sound practice
        
        2) Perhaps add style linting as an option
        
        3) Extend beyond standard library into popular libraries like requests, bottle,
        flask etc.
