Description: # alephmarcreader
        ## General 
        Python library to read Marc obtained from Aleph, the catalogue of the library of the University of Basel.
        
        This library supports Marc21, MARCXML, and AlephX.
        
        ## Documentation
        The docstrings can be displayed with pydoc (from the project root): `pydoc alephmarcreader.abstractalephmarcreader.AbstractAlephMarcReader
        `. For the inner classes such as `Person`, run `pydoc alephmarcreader.abstractalephmarcreader.AbstractAlephMarcReader.Person`.
        
        ## Design
        `alephmarcreader.abstractalephmarcreader.AbstractAlephMarcReader` provides methods to access Marc data.
        It is an abstract class that has two abstract methods `__get_field` and `__get_subfield_text` that have to be implemented in the subclass for the file format at hand.
        
        ## Unit Tests
        
        From the project root, run `python -m unittest alephmarcreader.tests.test_[Marc[21|XML]|X]Reader`.
        
        ## Dependencies
        
        - `pymarc`: install with pip
        - `lxml`: install with pip
        
        The library works both with python2 and python3.
