+PyCCEX
+=========
+
+Python binding to the C-CEX API (https://c-cex.com/?id=api)
+
+This is a minimalist implementation for a minimalist API.  C-CEX uses HTTP
+GET requests for its API, with an API key included for some calls.  This API
+assembles the query, fires it off to the server, and decodes the JSON
+response into a Python data structure.
+
+example.py is a similarly minimal example that returns the available trading
+pairs.
