Description-en: Python2 library for accessing xkcd.com
This is a Python library for accessing and retrieving links to comics from the
xkcd webcomic by Randall Munroe. It is NOT endorsed or made by him, it’s an
entirely independent project.
.
It makes use of the JSON interface to Randall’s site to retrieve comic data.
.
One can create comic objects manually using Comic(number), or can use the
helper functions provided- getLatestComic(), getRandomComic(), and getComic()-
to do this. Once you have a Comic object, you can access data from it using
various provided methods.
.
This is the Python 2 version of the package.
