PyFFI 2.0.0 released

The Python File Format Interface aims to make it easy to manipulate binary files in a Python environment. Starting from a file format description written in XML, PyFFI creates customizable Python classes to read and write file blocks as described by the XML. Currently, PyFFI supports the NetImmerse/Gamebryo NIF and KFM formats, CryTek's CGF format, the DDS format, and the TGA format. Many tools for files used by 3D games, such as a stripifier, and a tangent space calculator, are included in PyFFI as well.

QSkope is PyFFI's graphical user interface, and enables simple editing of files in any fileformat supported by PyFFI.

This release features a huge number of updates and bug fixes. Most notably, parsing the xml is faster, code is cleaner, no more partial classes, module names are lower case for pep8 compliance (the code is now a bit more "pythonic"), and deprecated functions and classes have now been removed. Check the changelog for a comprehensive list of all updates.
