PyAPML joins APML-Library
Well, I couldn’t refuse it. The nice folks over apml-library have so gently invited me to join them with the PyAPML module I described in my previous post.

PyAPML : A python parser for apml
While I was working on a little and nice program I’ll be releasing
soon, I needed a certain notion/thing for representing a user’s tastes about different concepts.
