Description: 
        This class presents a pure-Python memory-efficient packed 
        representation for bit arrays.
        
        **Version 3.4.2** fixes the previous version's problem of
          not exporting the module metadata.
        
        **Version 3.4.1** fixes a couple of errors in the packaging
        of Version 3.4.
        
        **Version 3.4** removes a bug and incorporates significant
        improvements in the documentation.
        
        The class is provided with the following operators/methods:
        
        -      __getitem__
