*Dependency Injector* is a dependency injection framework for Python projects. 
It was designed to be unified, developer's friendly tool for managing any kind
of Python objects and their dependencies in formal, pretty way.

Below is a list of some key features and points of *Dependency Injector*
framework:

- Easy, smart, pythonic style.
- Obvious, clear structure.
- Memory efficiency.
- Semantic versioning.

Main idea of *Dependency Injector* is to keep dependencies under control.

Installation
------------

*Dependency Injector* library is available on PyPi_::

    pip install dependency_injector

Documentation
-------------

*Dependency Injector* documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs:

- `Stable version`_
- `Latest version`_

--------
