+Python Documentation README
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This directory contains the reStructuredText (reST) sources to the Python
+documentation.  You don't need to build them yourself, prebuilt versions are
+available at http://docs.python.org/download/.
+
+Documentation on the authoring Python documentation, including information about
+both style and markup, is available in the "Documenting Python" chapter of the
+documentation.  There's also a chapter intended to point out differences to
+those familiar with the previous docs written in LaTeX.
+
+
+Building the docs
+=================
+
+You need to install Python 2.5 or higher; the toolset used to build the docs are
+written in Python.  The toolset used to build the documentation is called
+*Sphinx*, it is not included in this tree, but maintained separately in the
+Python Subversion repository.  Also needed are Jinja, a templating engine
+(included in Sphinx as a Subversion external), and optionally Pygments, a code
+highlighter.
+
+
+Using make
+----------
+
+Luckily, a Makefile has been prepared so that on Unix, provided you have
+installed Python and Subversion, you can just run ::
+
+   make html
+
+to check out the necessary toolset in the `tools/` subdirectory and build the
+HTML output files.  To view the generated HTML, point your favorite browser at
+the top-level index `build/html/index.html` after running "make".
+
+Available make targets are:
+
+ * "html", which builds standalone HTML files for offline viewing.
+
+ * "web", which builds files usable with the Sphinx.web application (used to
+   serve the docs online at http://docs.python.org/).
+
+ * "htmlhelp", which builds HTML files and a HTML Help project file usable to
+   convert them into a single Compiled HTML (.chm) file -- these are popular
+   under Microsoft Windows, but very handy on every platform.
+
+   To create the CHM file, you need to run the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop
+   over the generated project (.hhp) file.
+
+A "make update" updates the Subversion checkouts in `tools/`.
+
+
+Without make
+------------
+
+You'll need to checkout the Sphinx package to the `tools/` directory::
+
+   svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/doctools/trunk/sphinx tools/sphinx
+
+Then, you need to install Docutils 0.4 (the SVN snapshot won't work), either
+by checking it out via ::
+
+   svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/external/docutils-0.4/docutils tools/docutils
+
+or by installing it from http://docutils.sf.net/.
+
+You can optionally also install Pygments, either as a checkout via :: 
+
+   svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/external/Pygments-0.8.1/pygments tools/pygments
+
+or from PyPI at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygments.
+
+
+Then, make an output directory, e.g. under `build/`, and run ::
+
+   python tools/sphinx-build.py -b<builder> . build/<outputdirectory>
+
+where `<builder>` is one of html, web or htmlhelp (for explanations see the make
+targets above).
+
+
+Contributing
+============
+
+For bugs in the content, the online version at http://docs.python.org/ has a
+"suggest change" facility that can be used to correct errors in the source text
+and submit them as a patch to the maintainers.
+
+Bugs in the toolset should be reported in the Python bug tracker at
+http://bugs.python.org/.
+
+You can also send a mail to the Python Documentation Team at docs@python.org,
+and we will process your request as soon as possible.
+
+If you want to help the Documentation Team, you are always welcome.  Just send
+a mail to docs@python.org.
