Description: Python port of log2rotate
        =========================
        
        This is a rewrite of the log2rotate tool by Chris Forno. It provides the same
        command line interface as the original and adds:
        
        - keeping an arbitrary number of recent backups before applying the
          exponential rotation algorithm (--skip)
        
        - limited fuzzy matching in case of missing backups (--fuzz)
        
        - support for arbitrary date formats (--format)
        
        - a better detection of situations where applying the rotation algorithm
          might be dangerous (--unsafe)
        
        - a Python module providing a Log2Rotate class that can be used to apply the
          exponential rotation algorithm to arbitrary Python objects for which
          subtraction and comparison operators can be defined.
        
        See http://jekor.com/log2rotate
        
        Fuzzy matching produces better results than --unsafe in case occasional
        backups are missing from the series (due to backup server down-time, for
        example). With fuzzy matching, an older backup is selected for long-term
        keeping if the exact backup selected by the log2rotate algorithm is
        missing.
