Description: 
        APT, a Command-line Wrapper
        ============================
        
        A shorter, simpler, and slightly-saner interface to the
        `Debian APT <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool>`_
        command-line tools.
        
        ``apt`` may be thought of as a traffic cop
        that directs commands to the appropriate tool,
        automatically elevating itself with sudo if need-be.
        It consolidates all commands from ``apt-get`` and ``apt-cache``,
        and the most common from
        ``aptitude, dpkg, dpkg-query, add-apt-repository``, and ``apt-key``.
        It has a much narrower focus than "kitchen-sink" tools such as ``wajig``.
        
        Hopefully this micro-project will make your life a tiny bit easier.
        
        
        Installation
        --------------
        
        ::
        
            sudo pip install apt-wrapper
        
        or for a possibly more up-to-date version::
        
            sudo pip install https://bitbucket.org/mixmastamyk/apt/get/default.tar.gz

        Usage
        --------------
        
        ::
        
            apt                         # list available commands
            apt addrepo ppa:who/foo     # invokes sudo...
            Password:
        
            apt update
            apt search foo
            apt policy foo
            apt install foo bar
        
            apt remove foo
            apt instdeb foo.deb
        
        |
        
        Shortened commands
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        ``apt`` can also handle shortened commands.
        Add letters until it can be uniquely identified::
        
            apt cl
        
        results in::
        
            sudo apt-get clean
        
        |
        
        Aliases
        ~~~~~~~~~
        
        There are a few aliases for common commands as well::
        
            apt in foo                  # install
            apt rm bar                  # remove
            apt se baz                  # apt-cache search
            apt who-owns                # dpkg-query --searchfiles
        
        
        Problem?
        ``-d`` can help by outputting debugging information such as the full
        command-line::
        
            $ apt who-owns /bin/less -d
            Running: dpkg-query -S /bin/less
            less: /bin/less
