Pure Python port of `jgm''s CommonMark, a Markdown parser and renderer for the CommonMark (http://commonmark.org) specification, using only native modules. This provides the CommonMark-py Python package as developed by Bibek Kafle and Roland Shoemaker (BKRS). After release 0.5.4, their project moved to `Read the Docs' (http://readthedocs.org) and major changes broke compatibility.
