+
+# Installation
+
+Binary wheels are provided for Linux (manylinux 2010), OSX (10.14 and
+10.15 for brew Python), and Windows 64-bit (Python 3.6/3.7/3.8).
+
+Wheels have *no dependencies*.
+
+For building from source, see
+[documentation](https://ssh-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#building-from-source).
+
+``` shell
+pip install ssh-python
+```
+
+Pip may need to be updated to be able to install binary wheels.
+
+``` shell
+pip install -U pip
+pip install ssh-python
+```
+
+# Quick Start
+
+See [command execution
+script](https://github.com/ParallelSSH/ssh-python/blob/master/examples/exec.py)
+for complete example.
+
+# Features
+
+The library uses [Cython](https://www.cython.org) based native code
+extensions as wrappers to `libssh`.
+
+-   Thread safe - GIL released as much as possible
+    -   libssh threading limitations apply - anything not supported in C
+        is not supported in Python
+-   Very low overhead thin wrapper
+-   Object oriented
+    -   Memory freed automatically and safely as objects are garbage
+        collected by Python
+-   Uses Python semantics where applicable
+    -   channel/file handle context manager support
+    -   channel/file handle iterator support
+-   Raises low level C errors as Python exceptions
