+Prerequisites:
+Be sure to build and install the lm-sensors userspace first.  This package
+requires one of the header files from that.
+
+To build:
+	$ python setup.py build
+
+To install (will also build if necessary):
+	$ python setup.py install
+
+For general build/install help:
+	$ python setup.py --help-commands
+
+Frequently Answered Question:
+
+Q: It's throwing exceptions, nothing works, what's wrong?
+
+  A1: You need write permissions to the i2c-dev devices.  Try running as root.
+
+  A2: Addresses in Linux/I2C are the most-sig 7 bits, right-justified.  E.g.
+	if your device uses address 0xc0 to write and 0xc1 to read, then use
+	address 0x60 with this module.
+
+  A3: Some other kernel driver has claimed that I2C address.  Unload it first.
