+mutual_friends.py
+=================
+
+Learn who your ex and her new boyfriend are both friends with.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Run from the top-level directory using `python -m`.
+For example:
+
+ > python -m bin.mutual_friends -h
+ usage: mutual_friends.py [-h] [--output-format {csv,json}] UID [UID ...]
+ ...
+
+For example (using made up user IDs/"screen names"),
+
+ > python -m bin.mutual_friends john.doe jane.doe
+ 89497105,John,Smith,john.smith
+ 3698577,Jane,Smith,jane.smith
+
+In the example above, both "John Doe" and "Jane Doe" are friends with "John
+Smith" and "Jane Smith", whose user IDs are 89497105 and 3698577 respectively.
+Their "screen names" (the part after "vk.com/" of their personal page URLs) are
+"john.smith" and "jane.smith".
+
+The output format is CSV (comma-separated values) by default.
+You can also get a JSON document:
+
+ > python -m bin.mutual_friends --output-format json john.doe jane.doe
+ [
+ {
+ "uid": 89497105,
+ "first_name": "John",
+ "last_name": "Smith",
+ "screen_name": "john.smith"
+ },
+ {
+ "uid": 3698577,
+ "first_name": "Jane",
+ "last_name": "Smith",
+ "screen_name": "jane.smith"
+ }
+ ]
