+argparse 0.9.0
+==============
+
+The argparse module makes writing command line tools in Python easy.
+Just briefly describe your command line interface and argparse will
+take care of the rest, including:
+
+* parsing the arguments and flags from ``sys.argv``
+* converting arg strings into objects for your program
+* formatting and printing any help messages
+* and much more ... 
+
+For those familiar with the optparse module from the Python standard
+library, argparse improves on this module in a number of ways,
+including:
+
+    * handling positional arguments
+    * supporting sub-commands
+    * allowing alternative option prefixes like ``+`` and ``/``
+    * handling zero-or-more and one-or-more style arguments
+    * producing more informative usage messages
+    * providing a much simpler interface for custom types and actions
+
+REQUIREMENTS & INSTALLATION
+---------------------------
+        
+The argparse module requires Python 2.4 or greater, and can be
+installed with the standard Python installation procedure:
+
+  python setup.py install
+
+
+AVAILABILITY & DOCUMENTATION
+----------------------------
+
+The latest version of argparse, along with API documentation and
+examples can be found at:
