Description: LiPD
        ====
        
        Input/output and manipulation utilities for LiPD files in Matlab, R and
        Python.
        
        What is it?
        -----------
        
        LiPD is short for Linked PaleoData. LiPD is the data standard for
        paleoclimatology and the exchange of data amongst paleoclimate experts.
        This package will help you convert your existing database of
        paleoclimate observations into LiPD files. Moreover, it contains tools
        to analyze and manipulate LiPD data.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        LiPD is a package containing multiple modules. Install globally on your
        system with:
        
        ::
        
            pip install LiPD
        
        Python v3.4+ is required
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        Using your preferred Python IDE or a Python console, you can import the
        LiPD package using:
        
        ::
        
            import lipd
        
        This import will trigger a prompt asking you to choose a source
        directory containing files.
        
        Now you can call any function in the LiPD package.
        
        ::
        
            lipd.loadLipds()
        
        ::
        
            lipd.excel()
        
        ::
        
            lipd.doi()
        
        Starter files

        file <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/azp3m2hggh0l0jr/lipd_starter_files.zip?dl=1>`__
        
        The starter files will give you working examples to try out LiPD, as
        well as blank templates to insert your own data.
        
        **Included:** \* NOAA blank template and example file \* Excel blank
        template and example file \* LiPD example file
        
        Features
        --------
        
        -  Convert Excel files to LiPD files
        -  Convert NOAA files to LiPD files
        -  Convert LiPD files to NOAA files
        -  Load LiPD files for data analysis
        -  Extract TimeSeries
        
        Jupyter Notebooks
        -----------------
        
        A Jupyter Notebook is an instructional tool to show examples of python
        code and code output. We have created a set of Notebooks as guides to
        getting familiar with LiPD and its functions. These Notebooks can be
        found in the github repository as '.ipynb' files.
        
        *Jupyter is not required to use the LiPD package.*
        
        Requirements
        ------------
        
        For a list of modules that are installed with this package, please refer
