pip's current documentation and README are not very good. They lack any form of good description about pip. It would probably help to provide "what pip is for and is not for" in this page perhaps.

/cc @theacodes @ncoghlan #4758 (comment)


What reminded me about this -- the recent changes/improvements to the following:

I think it might be useful to include the README.rst file into docs/html/index.rst files, before the toctree of the documentation (it's technically possible; the concern is more content oriented).

It'll ensure a single point of truth for both the locations, which is a good thing.

I have lots of thoughts. :) Maybe I'll try to find some free time and write up a new README & Index for pip.

### Update [python-dateutil](https://pypi.org/project/python-dateutil) from **2.7.5** to **2.8.0**.


<details>
  <summary>Changelog</summary>
  
  
   ### 2.8.0
   ```
   ==========================

Data updates
------------

- Updated tzdata version to to 2018i.


Features
--------

- Added support for ``EXDATE`` parameters when parsing ``rrule`` strings.
  Reported by mlorant (gh issue 410), fixed by nicoe (gh pr 859).
- Added support for sub-minute time zone offsets in Python 3.6+.
  Fixed by cssherry (gh issue 582, pr 763)
- Switched the ``tzoffset``, ``tzstr`` and ``gettz`` caches over to using weak
  references, so that the cache expires when no other references to the
  original ``tzinfo`` objects exist. This cache-expiry behavior is not
  guaranteed in the public interface and may change in the future. To improve
  performance in the case where transient references to the same time zones
  are repeatedly created but no strong reference is continuously held, a
  smaller &quot;strong value&quot; cache was also added. Weak value cache implemented by
  cs-cordero (gh pr 672, 801), strong cache added by
  Gökçen Nurlu (gh issue 691, gh pr 761)


Bugfixes
--------

- Added time zone inference when initializing an ``rrule`` with a specified
  ``UNTIL`` but without an explicitly specified ``DTSTART``; the time zone
  of the generated ``DTSTART`` will now be taken from the ``UNTIL`` rule.
  Reported by href (gh issue 652). Fixed by absreim (gh pr 693).
- Fixed an issue where ``parser.parse`` would raise ``Decimal``-specific errors
  instead of a standard ``ValueError`` if certain malformed values were parsed
  (e.g. ``NaN`` or infinite values). Reported and fixed by
  amureki (gh issue 662, gh pr 679).
- Fixed issue in ``parser`` where a ``tzinfos`` call explicitly returning
  ``None`` would throw a ``ValueError``.
  Fixed by parsethis (gh issue 661, gh pr 681)
- Fixed incorrect parsing of certain dates earlier than 100 AD when repesented
  in the form &quot;%B.%Y.%d&quot;, e.g. &quot;December.0031.30&quot;. (gh issue 687, pr 700)
- Add support for ISO 8601 times with comma as the decimal separator in the
  ``dateutil.parser.isoparse`` function. (gh pr 721)
- Changed handling of ``T24:00`` to be compliant with the standard. ``T24:00``
  now represents midnight on the *following* day.
  Fixed by cheukting (gh issue 658, gh pr 751)
- Fixed an issue where ``isoparser.parse_isotime`` was unable to handle the
  ``24:00`` variant representation of midnight. (gh pr 773)
- Added support for more than 6 fractional digits in `isoparse`.
  Reported and fixed by jayschwa (gh issue 786, gh pr 787).
- Added &#39;z&#39; (lower case Z) as valid UTC time zone in isoparser.
  Reported by cjgibson (gh issue 820). Fixed by Cheukting (gh pr 822)
- Fixed a bug with base offset changes during DST in ``tzfile``, and refactored
  the way base offset changes are detected. Originally reported on
  StackOverflow by MartinThoma. (gh issue 812, gh pr 810)
- Fixed error condition in ``tz.gettz`` when a non-ASCII timezone is passed on
  Windows in Python 2.7. (gh issue 802, pr 861)
- Improved performance and inspection properties of ``tzname`` methods.
  (gh pr 811)
- Removed unnecessary binary_type compatibility shims.
  Added by jdufresne (gh pr 817)
- Changed ``python setup.py test`` to print an error to ``stderr`` and exit
  with 1 instead of 0. Reported and fixed by hroncok (gh pr 814)
- Added a ``pyproject.toml`` file with build requirements and an explicitly
  specified build backend. (gh issue 736, gh prs 746, 863)


Documentation changes
---------------------

- Added documentation for the ``rrule.rrulestr`` function.
  Fixed by prdickson (gh issue 623, gh pr 762)
- Added documentation for ``dateutil.tz.gettz``.
  Fixed by weatherpattern (gh issue 647, gh pr 704)
- Add documentation for the ``dateutil.tz.win`` module and mocked out certain
  Windows-specific modules so that autodoc can still be run on non-Windows
  systems. (gh issue 442, pr 715)
- Added changelog to documentation. (gh issue 692, gh pr 707)
- Changed order of keywords in the ``rrule`` docstring.
  Reported and fixed by rmahajan14 (gh issue 686, gh pr 695).
- Improved documentation on the use of ``until`` and ``count`` parameters in
  ``rrule``. Fixed by lucaferocino (gh pr 755).
- Added an example of how to use a custom ``parserinfo`` subclass to parse
  non-standard datetime formats in the examples documentation for ``parser``.
  Added by prdickson (gh 753)
- Added doctest examples to ``tzfile`` documentation.
  Patch by weatherpattern (gh pr 671)
- Updated the documentation for ``relativedelta``&#39;s ``weekday`` arguments.
  Fixed by kvn219 huangy22 and ElliotJH (gh pr 673)
- Improved explanation of the order that ``relativedelta`` components are
  applied in. Fixed by kvn219 huangy22 and ElliotJH (gh pr 673)
- Expanded the description and examples in the ``relativedelta`` class.
  Contributed by andrewcbennett (gh pr 759)
- Improved the contributing documentation to clarify where to put new changelog
  files. Contributed by andrewcbennett (gh pr 757)
- Fixed a broken doctest in the ``relativedelta`` module.
  Fixed by nherriot (gh pr 758).
- Changed the default theme to ``sphinx_rtd_theme``, and changed the sphinx
  configuration accordingly. (gh pr 707)
- Reorganized ``dateutil.tz`` documentation and fixed issue with the
  ``dateutil.tz`` docstring. (gh pr 714)
- Cleaned up malformed RST in the ``tz`` documentation.
  (gh issue 702, gh pr 706)
- Corrected link syntax and updated URL to https for ISO year week number
  notation in ``relativedelta`` examples. (gh issue 670, pr 711)

<details>
  <summary>Changelog</summary>
  
  
   ### 40.8.0
   ```
   -------

* 1652: Added the ``build_meta:__legacy__`` backend, a &quot;compatibility mode&quot; PEP 517 backend that can be used as the default when ``build-backend`` is left unspecified in ``pyproject.toml``.
* 1635: Resource paths are passed to ``pkg_resources.resource_string`` and similar no longer accept paths that traverse parents, that begin with a leading ``/``. Violations of this expectation raise DeprecationWarnings and will become errors. Additionally, any paths that are absolute on Windows are strictly disallowed and will raise ValueErrors.
* 1536: ``setuptools`` will now automatically include licenses if ``setup.cfg`` contains a ``license_file`` attribute, unless this file is manually excluded inside ``MANIFEST.in``.

### Update [Django](https://pypi.org/project/Django) from **2.0.10** to **2.0.12**.


<details>
  <summary>Changelog</summary>
  
  
   ### 2.0.12
   ```
   ===========================

*February 11, 2019*

Django 2.0.12 fixes a packaging error in 2.0.11.

Bugfixes
========

* Corrected packaging error from 2.0.11 (:ticket:`30175`).


===========================
   ```
   
  
  
   ### 2.0.11
   ```
   ===========================

*February 11, 2019*

Django 2.0.11 fixes a security issue in 2.0.10.

CVE-2019-6975: Memory exhaustion in ``django.utils.numberformat.format()``
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

If ``django.utils.numberformat.format()`` -- used by ``contrib.admin`` as well
as the the ``floatformat``, ``filesizeformat``, and ``intcomma`` templates
filters -- received a ``Decimal`` with a large number of digits or a large
exponent, it could lead to significant memory usage due to a call to
``&#39;{:f}&#39;.format()``.

To avoid this, decimals with more than 200 digits are now formatted using
scientific notation.

### Update [pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip) from **19.0.1** to **19.0.2**.


<details>
  <summary>Changelog</summary>
  
  
   ### 19.0.2
   ```
   ===================

Bug Fixes
---------

- Fix a crash where PEP 517-based builds using ``--no-cache-dir`` would fail in
  some circumstances with an ``AssertionError`` due to not finalizing a build
  directory internally. (`6197 &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6197&gt;`_)
- Provide a better error message if attempting an editable install of a
  directory with a ``pyproject.toml`` but no ``setup.py``. (`6170 &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6170&gt;`_)
- The implicit default backend used for projects that provide a ``pyproject.toml``
  file without explicitly specifying ``build-backend`` now behaves more like direct
  execution of ``setup.py``, and hence should restore compatibility with projects
  that were unable to be installed with ``pip`` 19.0. This raised the minimum
  required version of ``setuptools`` for such builds to 40.8.0. (`6163 &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6163&gt;`_)
- Allow ``RECORD`` lines with more than three elements, and display a warning. (`6165 &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6165&gt;`_)
- ``AdjacentTempDirectory`` fails on unwritable directory instead of locking up the uninstall command. (`6169 &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6169&gt;`_)
- Make failed uninstalls roll back more reliably and better at avoiding naming conflicts. (`6194 &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6194&gt;`_)
- Ensure the correct wheel file is copied when building PEP 517 distribution is built. (`6196 &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6196&gt;`_)
- The Python 2 end of life warning now only shows on CPython, which is the
  implementation that has announced end of life plans. (`6207 &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6207&gt;`_)

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Re-write README and documentation index (`5815 &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5815&gt;`_)
   ```
