Markdown for Python, accelerated by C.
$ pip install cMarkdown
>>> import cMarkdown as markdown
>>> markdown.markdown('# Hello, world!')
'<h1>Hello, world!</h1>\n'
These are keyword arguments to pass to markdown(). They all default to
False.

These keyword arguments to markdown(), which default to False, enable
various extensions to the Markdown language.

Inspired by redcarpet for Ruby. Like with redcarpet, all the hard work is done by the (unfortunately named) upskirt C library. cMarkdown just makes this Markdown parsing and rendering library available to Python.
