"""Pynche -- The PYthon Natural Color and Hue Editor.

Contact: Barry Warsaw
Email:   bwarsaw@python.org
Version: %(__version__)s

Pynche is based largely on a similar color editor I wrote years ago for the
Sunview window system.  That editor was called ICE: the Interactive Color
Editor.  I'd always wanted to port the editor to X but didn't feel like
hacking X and C code to do it.  Fast forward many years, to where Python +
Tkinter provides such a nice programming environment, with enough power, that
I finally buckled down and implemented it.  I changed the name because these
days, too many other systems have the acronym `ICE'.

This program currently requires Python 1.5 with Tkinter.  It has only been
tested on Solaris 2.6.  Feedback is greatly appreciated.  Send email to
bwarsaw@python.org

Usage: %(PROGRAM)s [-d file] [-i file] [-X] [-v] [-h] [initialcolor]

Where:
    --database file
    -d file
        Alternate location of a color database file

    --initfile file
    -i file
        Alternate location of the initialization file.  This file contains a
        persistent database of the current Pynche options and color.  This
        means that Pynche restores its option settings and current color when
        it restarts, using this file (unless the -X option is used).  The
        default is ~/.pynche

    --ignore
    -X
        Ignore the initialization file when starting up.  Pynche will still
        write the current option settings to this file when it quits.

    --version
    -v
        print the version number

    --help
    -h
        print this message

    initialcolor
        initial color, as a color name or #RRGGBB format
