# Welcome to Apache Chemistry cmislib
Apache Chemistry cmislib is a [CMIS](http://docs.oasis-open.org/cmis/CMIS/v1.0/cmis-spec-v1.0.html) client library for Python.
The goal of this library is to provide an interoperable API to CMIS
repositories such as Alfresco, Nuxeo, KnowledgeTree, MS SharePoint, EMC
Documentum, and any other content repository that is CMIS-compliant.
