        Thanks to all [contributors](CONTRIBUTORS.txt). If you have contributed to PySwip in the past and your name does not appear on that list, please [let me know](mailto:yucetekol@gmail.com) so I can add your name.
        
        ## Introduction
        
        PySwip is a Python - SWI-Prolog bridge enabling to query [SWI-Prolog](http://www.swi-prolog.org) in your Python programs.
        It features an (incomplete) SWI-Prolog foreign language interface, a utility class that makes it easy querying with Prolog and also a
        Pythonic interface.
        
        Since PySwip uses SWI-Prolog as a shared library and ctypes to access it, it doesn't require compilation to be installed.
        
        ## Requirements:
        
        * Python 2.7 or 3.4 and higher.
            * PyPy is currently not supported.
        * SWI-Prolog 7.6.x and higher.
        * `libswipl` as a shared library. *This is the default on most platforms.*
        * Works on Linux, Windows and MacOS. Should work on other POSIX.
        
        ## Install
        
        See [INSTALL](INSTALL.md) for instructions.
        
        ## Examples
        
        ### Using Prolog
        
        ```python
        from pyswip import Prolog
        prolog = Prolog()
        prolog.assertz("father(michael,john)")
        prolog.assertz("father(michael,gina)")
        list(prolog.query("father(michael,X)")) == [{'X': 'john'}, {'X': 'gina'}]
        for soln in prolog.query("father(X,Y)"):
            print(soln["X"], "is the father of", soln["Y"])
        # michael is the father of john
        # michael is the father of gina
        ```
        
        An existing knowledge base stored in a Prolog file can also be consulted,
        and queried. Assuming the filename "knowledge_base.pl" and the Python is 
        being run in the same working directory, it is consulted like so:
        
            >>> from pyswip import Prolog
            >>> prolog = Prolog()
            >>> prolog.consult("knowledge_base.pl")
        
        ### Foreign Functions
        
        ```python
        from __future__ import print_function
        from pyswip import Prolog, registerForeign
        
        def hello(t):
            print("Hello,", t)    
        hello.arity = 1
        
        registerForeign(hello)
        
        prolog = Prolog()
        prolog.assertz("father(michael,john)")
        prolog.assertz("father(michael,gina)")    
        print(list(prolog.query("father(michael,X), hello(X)")))
        ```
        
        ### Pythonic interface (Experimental)
        
        ```python
        from __future__ import print_function
        from pyswip import Functor, Variable, Query
        
        assertz = Functor("assertz", 2)
        father = Functor("father", 2)
        call(assertz(father("michael","john")))
        call(assertz(father("michael","gina")))
        X = Variable()
        
        q = Query(father("michael",X))
        while q.nextSolution():
            print("Hello,", X.value)
        q.closeQuery()
        
        # Outputs:
        #    Hello, john
        #    Hello, gina
        
        ```
        
        The core functionality of `Prolog.query` is based on Nathan Denny's public domain prolog.py.
