+ASN.1 library for Python
+------------------------
+
+This is an implementation of ASN.1 types and codecs in Python programming
+language. It has been first written to support particular protocol (SNMP)
+but then generalized to be suitable for a wide range of protocols
+based on ASN.1 specification.
+
+FEATURES
+--------
+
+* Generic implementation of ASN.1 types (X.208)
+* Fully standard compliant BER/CER/DER codecs
+* 100% Python, works with Python 2.4 up to Python 3.3 (beta 1)
+* MT-safe
+
+MISFEATURES
+-----------
+
+* No ASN.1 compiler (by-hand ASN.1 spec compilation into Python code required)
+* Codecs are not restartable
+
+INSTALLATION
+------------
+
+The pyasn1 package uses setuptools/distutils for installation. Thus do
+either:
+
+$ easy_install pyasn1
+
+or
+
+$ tar zxf pyasn1-0.1.3.tar.gz
+$ cd pyasn1-0.1.3
+$ python setup.py install
+$ cd test
+$ python suite.py # run unit tests
+
+OPERATION
+---------
+
+Perhaps a typical use would involve [by-hand] compilation of your ASN.1
+specification into pyasn1-backed Python code at your application.
+
+For more information on pyasn1 APIs, please, refer to the
+doc/pyasn1-tutorial.html file in the distribution.
+
+Also refer to example modules. Take a look at pyasn1-modules package -- maybe
+it already holds something useful to you.
+
+AVAILABILITY
+------------
+
+The pyasn1 package is distributed under terms and conditions of BSD-style
+license. See LICENSE file in the distribution. Source code is freely
+available from:
+
+http://pyasn1.sf.net

+FEEDBACK
+--------
