+framer is a tool to generate boilerplate code for C extension types.
+
+The boilerplate is generated from a specification object written in
+Python. The specification uses the class statement to describe the
+extension module and any extension types it contains. From the
+specification, framer can generate all the boilerplate C code,
+including function definitions, argument handling code, and type
+objects.
