			=== Codequick ===

			'''Description'''

			Codequick is a framework for kodi add-on's. The goal for this framework is to simplify add-on development. This is achieved by reducing the amount of boilerplate code to a minimum, while automating as many tasks that can be automated. Ultimately, allowing the developer to focus primarily on scraping content from websites and passing it to Kodi.

			* Route dispatching (callbacks)
			* Callback arguments can be any Python object that can be "pickled"
			* Delayed execution (execute code after callbacks have returned results)
			* No need to set "isplayable" or "isfolder" properties
			* Supports both Python 2 and 3
			* Auto sort method selection
			* Better error reporting
			* Full unicode support
			* Sets "mediatype" to "video" or "music" depending on listitem type if not set
			* Sets "xbmcplugin.setContent" base off mediatype infolabel.
			* Sets "xbmcplugin.setPluginCategory" to the title of current folder
			* Sets "thumbnail" to add-on icon image if not set
			* Sets "fanart" to add-on fanart image if not set
			* Sets "icon" to "DefaultFolder.png" or "DefaultVideo.png’ if not set
			* Sets "plot" to the listitem title if not set
			* Auto type convertion for (str, unicode, int, float, long) infolables and stream info
			* Support for media flags e.g. High definition '720p', audio channels '2.0'
			* Reimplementation of the listitem class, that makes heavy use of dictionaries
			* Built-in support for saved searches
			* Youtube.DL intergration (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=200877)
			* URLQuick intergration (http://urlquick.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)
			* Youtube intergration
			* Supports use of "reuselanguageinvoker"

	~~Kodistubs~~		'''Description'''

	~~'''Description''' =~~ Kodi ~~stubs are literally Python module stubs which mimic~~ Kodi Python API ~~modules. They contain most (hopefully, all) classes, methods, functions and constants declarations with~~ docstrings, and ~~minimal~~ code ~~not to raise syntax errors.~~		The main purpose of Kodistubs is to help you to write Kodi addon code in various IDEs by providing code completion, quick access to Kodi Python API docstrings, and code inspection (linting) in IDEs that provide this feature.
	~~If you using some Python IDE~~ (~~Eclipse+Pydev, Python Tools for Visual Studio, PyScripter etc.~~)~~, you can add those modules to Python import paths of your current Kodi addon project, and you will get code auto-completion and quick help~~ that ~~greatly facilitates writing addon code and reduces the number of errors~~.

			When developing Python addons for Kodi it is strongly recommended to use virtual environments to isolate your development dependencies. Virtual environments are supported by all popular Python IDEs.

	'''~~URL~~''' ~~= http://forum~~.~~kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=173780~~		'''Installation'''
			Within a python virtual environment of your add-on source code execute `pip install kodistubs`.
