Description: Weir
        ====
        Weir is a Python API for ZFS.
        
        The API is loosely based on libzfs, but is intended to be more Pythonic
        rather than reproducing the C API exactly.  Key differences include:
        
        - ZFS datasets are represented as objects.
        
        - ``send()`` and ``receive()`` return open files.
        
        Weir is implemented on top of the command-line ``zfs`` and ``zpool``
        commands for portability and so as to facilitate support for remote
        operation without requiring installation on the remote host.
        
        Remote datasets can be specified with urls of the form
        ``zfs://user@host/path@snapname``.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        Requires Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.4+.
        
        To install Weir, simply:
        
        ``$ pip install weir``
        
        Usage
        -----
        eg to find a filesystem's most recent snapshot:
        
        	>>> from weir import zfs
        	>>> zfs.open('zfs://backup.local/wanaka/test').snapshots()[-1].name
        	'zfs://backup.local/wanaka/test@auto-2015-04-08T145240'
