+Coverage.py
+===========
+
+Code coverage testing for Python.
+
+|ci-status| |win-ci-status| |docs|
+
+Coverage.py measures code coverage, typically during test execution. It uses
+the code analysis tools and tracing hooks provided in the Python standard
+library to determine which lines are executable, and which have been executed.
+
+Coverage.py runs on CPython 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5, PyPy 2.4, and PyPy3 2.4.
+
+Documentation is on `Read the Docs <http://coverage.readthedocs.org>`_.
+Code repository and issue tracker are on `Bitbucket <http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy>`_,
+with a mirrored repository on `GitHub <https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy>`_.
+
+**New in 4.0:** ``--concurrency``, plugins for other file variants, setup.cfg
+support, --skip-covered, HTML filtering, and more than 50 issues closed.
