Requires ``nose``

::

Usage
-----

``lauteur`` has two methods: ``from_string`` and ``from_html``

``from_string`` is mostly used in RSS Feed parsing where authors are
sometimes embedded as bylines:

.. code:: python

    import lauteur

    string = 'By: Brian Abelson ,and Michael H. Keller & Dr. Stijn Debrouwere IV'
    authors = lauteur.from_string(string)
    print authors

    # ['Brian Abelson', 'Michael H Keller', 'DR Stijn Debrouwere IV']

``from_html`` searches through common meta tags for authors.

.. code:: python

    import lauteur
    import requests

    r = requests.get('http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/20/books/michiko-kakutanis-10-favorite-books-of-2013.html')

    authors = lauteur.from_html(r.content)
    print authors
    # ['Michiko Kakutani']

Todo:
-----

-  [ ] Find more meta tags.
-  [ ] Improve name formatting algorithm.
