+ A library to parse proxy auto-config (PAC) files. Proxy auto-config
+ files are a vastly used proxy configuration method these days. Web
+ browsers can use a PAC file to determine which proxy server to use
+ or whether to go direct for a given URL. PAC files are written in
+ JavaScript and can be programmed to return different proxy methods
+ (e.g. "PROXY proxy1:port; DIRECT") depending upon URL, source IP
+ address, protocol, time of the day etc. PAC files introduce a lot
+ of possibilities.
+ Needless to say, PAC files are now a widely accepted method for
+ proxy configuration management and companies all over are using
+ them in corporate environments. Almost all popular web browsers
+ support PAC files. The idea behind pacparser is to make it easy to
+ add this PAC file parsing capability to any program (C and Python
+ supported right now).
