==== Description: ====
GetMediumURL is a package for getting URLs of media files (audio or video)
hosted on websites.  It is written in Python and designed to be used by other
projects providing useful frontends (tools which download media or convert
them to free formats).

Unlike interfaces provided by these websites, programs using GetMediumURL
could download the whole video and its metadata (currently title and thumbnail
image) instead of using Flash-based players.

The difference between this project and video downloading programs is that
GetMediumURL does not download media or provide any user interface -- these
tasks can be done differently by projects like TinyOgg [0] or WatchVideo [1]. 
This package makes it simple to provide support for other websites in projects
like these, and update it in one place if the websites change.
