 pyutils package
 ===============
 
+Introduction
+------------
+
 When I was writing little tools in Python and found myself implementing
 a generally useful pattern I stuffed it into a local library.  That
 library grew into pyutils: a set of collections, helpers and utilities
 that I find useful and hope you will too.

+Installation
+------------
+
+This project is now *pyutils* in PyPi, the default Python project index.  To install
+with pip::
+
+    pip install pyutils
+
+You'll get a few dependencies and this library.  The dependencies are high quality and
+stable:
+
+    - antlr4-python3-runtime: ANTLR grammer/parser runtime dependencies for the date
+      parsing grammar.
+    - bitstring: easy bitwise operations on long operands
+    - cloudpickle: a better version of Python's built in pickle used in the parallelize
+      code.
+    - holidays: a list of US and international holidays, used in the date parser.
+    - kazoo: a client side library with recipes for working with Apache Zookeeper, used
+      if and only if you enable Zookeeper-based configs.
+    - overrides: code decorator to mark and enforce method overrides.
+    - pytz: Python timezones, used in date parser and utils.
