+"""
+A python interface to the `Akismet <http://akismet.com>`_ API.
+This is a web service for blocking SPAM comments to blogs - or other online
+services.
+
+You will need a Wordpress API key, from `wordpress.com <http://wordpress.com>`_.
+
+You should pass in the keyword argument 'agent' to the name of your program,
+when you create an Akismet instance. This sets the ``user-agent`` to a useful
+value.
+
+The default is : ::
+
+ Python Interface by Fuzzyman | akismet.py/0.2.0
+
+Whatever you pass in, will replace the *Python Interface by Fuzzyman* part.
+**0.2.0** will change with the version of this interface.
+
+Usage example::
+
+ from akismet import Akismet
+
+ api = Akismet(agent='Test Script')
+ # if apikey.txt is in place,
+ # the key will automatically be set
+ # or you can call api.setAPIKey()
+ #
+ if api.key is None:
+ print "No 'apikey.txt' file."
+ elif not api.verify_key():
+ print "The API key is invalid."
+ else:
+ # data should be a dictionary of values
+ # They can all be filled in with defaults
+ # from a CGI environment
+ if api.comment_check(comment, data):
+ print 'This comment is spam.'
+ else:
+ print 'This comment is ham.'

+
+ If ``build_data`` is ``True`` (the default), then *akismet.py* will
+ attempt to fill in as much information as possible, using default
+ values where necessary. This is particularly useful for programs
+ running in a {acro;CGI} environment. A lot of useful information
+ can be supplied from evironment variables (``os.environ``). See below.
+
+ You *only* need supply values for which you don't want defaults filled
+ in for. All values must be strings.
+
+ There are a few required values. If they are not supplied, and
