slacken 0.1.1

Introduction

Contains the RESTAccess class for calling endpoints including tools for accessing both json and xml data. Also included are tools for accessing this information as an AttrDict (attribute dictionary) - a dictionary where keys can also be accessed as attributes, in javascript style - accessing a value of this class of type dict will return another AttrDict, however the original object is always accessible by calling ._as_dict() on an AttrDict object
