Specifically, this code is directly derived from http://mmcif.wwpdb.org/docs/sw-examples/python/src/pdbx.tar.gz linked from http://mmcif.wwpdb.org/docs/sw-examples/python/html/. See http://mmcif.wwpdb.org/docs/sw-examples/python/html/ for more information about the original package, including examples.
Versions 0.* maintain API compatibility with the original code. Subsequent versions break that compatibility, primarily by renaming methods in compliance with PEP8.
