Description: 
        Introduction
        ============
        
        The PPCI (Pure Python Compiler Infrastructure) project is a compiler
        written entirely in the `Python <https://www.python.org/>`_ programming
        language. It contains front-ends for various programming languages as
        well as machine code generation functionality. With this library you can
        generate (working!) machine code using Python (and thus very easy to
        explore, extend, etc.)!
        
        The project contains:
        
        - Language frontends for C, Python, Pascal, Basic and Brainfuck
        - Code generation for several architectures: 6500, arm, avr, m68k, microblaze, msp430, openrisc, risc-v, stm8, x86_64, xtensa
        - Command line utilities, such as ppci-cc, ppci-ld and ppci-opt
        - WebAssembly, JVM, OCaml support
        - Support for ELF, EXE, S-record and hexfile formats
        - An intermediate representation (IR) which can be serialized in json
        - The project can be used as a library so you can script the compilation process
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Since the compiler is a python package, you can install it with pip:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            $ pip install ppci
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        An example of commandline usage:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            $ cd examples/linux64/hello-make
            $ ppci-cc -c -O1 -o hello.o hello.c
            ...
            $ ppci-ld --entry main --layout linux64.ld hello.o -o hello
            ...
            $ ./hello
            Hello, World!
        
        API example to compile C code:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> import io
            >>> from ppci.api import cc, link
            >>> source_file = io.StringIO("""
            ...  int printf(char* fmt) { }
            ...  
            ...  void main() {
            ...     printf("Hello world!\n");
            ...  }
            ... """)
            >>> obj = cc(source_file, 'arm')
            >>> obj = link([obj])
        
        Example how to assemble some assembly code:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> import io
            >>> from ppci.api import asm
            >>> source_file = io.StringIO("""section code
            ... pop rbx
            ... push r10
            ... mov rdi, 42""")
            >>> obj = asm(source_file, 'x86_64')
            >>> obj.get_section('code').data
            bytearray(b'[ARH\xbf*\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00')
        
        Example of the low level api usage:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> from ppci.arch.x86_64 import instructions, registers
            >>> i = instructions.Pop(registers.rbx)
            >>> i.encode()
            b'['
