+RMR Python Bindings
+===================
Overview
--------
-The xapp framework repo includes a python submodule called `rmr`.
-This package (`ricxappframe.rmr`) is a CTYPES wrapper around the C rmr library.
-Most Xapp users will never use this package natively; however python apps that need access to the low level rmr API can use this package.
-Usage of this python package requires that you have the c rmr libraries installed.

+RMR API
+-------
+
+..
+ Sphinx can generate API documentation by running Python to pull doc strings
+ from the binding code using these Sphinx directives that are commented out:
+ .. automodule:: ricxappframe.rmr.rmr
+ :members:
+ But that approach requires the RMR library to be installed, which is difficult
+ to achieve at ReadTheDocs.io. Instead, the RST below was generated and captured
+ according to the method shown at
+ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2668187/make-sphinx-generate-rst-class-documentation-from-pydoc

+ RE PAYLOADs type below, see the documentation for c_char_p:
+ class ctypes.c_char_p
+ Represents the C char * datatype when it points to a zero-terminated string. For a general character pointer that may also point to binary data, POINTER(c_char) must be used. The constructor accepts an integer address, or a bytes object.
