+This directory contains the source to the Python documentation.
+
+Unfortunately it's not not very readable, complete or up-to-date yet --
+in other words, I'm still working on it!
+
+There are four documents and a macro file:
+
+       macros.ms               macros .so'ed by the documents
+
+       paper.ms                conference paper about Python
+       intro.ms                informal introduction to Python
+       ref.ms                  Python language reference manual
+       modules.ms              description of standard modules
+
+XXX There should also be a man page.
+
+To typeset one of the documents on the default Postscript printer, chdir
+to this directory (otherwise the macros aren't found!) and issue the
+command
+
+       pstroff -ms file.ms
+
+When typesetting all documents, issue a separate command for each.
