+logutils 0.1
+============
+The logutils package provides a set of handlers for the Python standard
+library's logging package.
+
+Some of these handlers are out-of-scope for the standard library, and
+so they are packaged here. Others are updated versions which have
+appeared in recent Python releases, but are usable with older versions
+of Python and so are packaged here.
+
+Requirements & Installation
+---------------------------
+The logutils package requires Python 2.5 or greater, and can be
+installed with the standard Python installation procedure:
+
+  python setup.py install
+
+There is a set of unit tests which you can invoke with
+
+  python setup.py test
+  
+before running the installation.
+
+Availability & Documentation
