A python library to use the REST interface of the Virtual Skeleton Database

README

This library implements a client for the REST API of the virtualskeletondatabase (www.virtualskeleton.ch). It supports authentication, general queries, and specific requests such as image upload/download, object linking and right management. Examples are provided in the examples directory. Please use 'demo.virtualskeleton.ch' for testing purposes.
