This is a mini library to help manipulate two-dimensional vectors in Python. Vector geometry is quite a common thing to want when you're writing games and just being able to add them together makes this library worthwhile, but there's also a lot of methods to perform other vector-related tasks: rotating, scaling, various products, etc.

In addition this library implements basic infinite lines and finite line segments, common tools in any kind of two-dimensional collision space. Full documentation is provided both in the code and in HTML and reStructuredText formats.
