 micropython-lib
 ===============
-micropython-lib is a project to develop non-monolothic standard library
-for MicroPython. Each module or package is available as a seprate
-distribution package from PyPI. Modules either written from scratch or
-ported from CPython. Note that main target of micropython-lib is so
-far "Unix" port of MicroPython. Actual requirements vary per module
-(basicly, if module is not related to I/O, it should work without
-problem on baremetal ports too).

 Usage
 -----
 micropython-lib packages are published on PyPI (Python Package Index),
-standard Python community package repository: http://pypi.python.org/ .

-To install packages from PyPI for usage on your local system, use
-"pip-micropython" tool, which is a simple wrapper around a standard
-"pip" tool, which is used to install package for CPython.
-"pip-micropython" tool can be found in "tools" subdirectory of the main
-MicroPython repository (https://github.com/micropython/micropython).
-Just install "pip-micropython" script somewhere on your PATH.

 Development
 -----------
-To install modules during development, use "make install". By default, it
