pycrc is a free, easy to use Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) calculator and
source code generator.



Installation
============

pycrc requires Python 2.6 or later. Python 3.x is supported.

This program doesn't need any particular installation. The script can be
called from any directory.
Simply call the python interpreter with the script as parameter:

On UNIX-like systems, you might want to make the script executable:

chmod +x pycrc.py

Then the script can be called like an application.
./pycrc.py [options]
