+=========
+termstyle
+=========
+
+termstyle is a simple python library for adding coloured output to
+terminal (console) programs.  The definitions come from ECMA-048_, the
+"Control Functions for Coded Character Sets" standard.
+
+Installation:
+-------------
+
+I thoroughly recommend using the zero-install feed (see the project homepage) to manage your dependencies if at all possible. zero-install_ provides a much better system than pip or easy_install, and works with absolutely any language and allows decentralised package management that requires no special privileges to install.
+
+Example Usage:
+--------------
+::
+
+	from termstyle import *
+	print "%s:%s" % (red('Hey'), green('how are you?'))
+	print blue('How ', bold('you'), ' doin?')
+
+or, you can use a colour just as a string::
+
+	print "%sBlue!%s" % (blue, reset)
+
+Styles:
+-------
+::
+
+	reset or default (no colour / style)
+
+colour::
+
+	black
+	red
+	green
+	yellow
+	blue
+	magenta
+	cyan
+	white
+
+background colour::
+
+	bg_black
+	bg_red
+	bg_green
+	bg_yellow
+	bg_blue
+	bg_magenta
+	bg_cyan
+	bg_white
+	bg_default
+
+In terminals supporting transparency ``bg_default`` is often used to set
+the background to transparent [#]_.
+
+weight::
+
+	bold
+	inverted
+
+style::
+
+	italic
+	underscore
+
+Controls:
+---------
+::
+
+	auto() - sets colouring on only if sys.stdout is a terminal
+	disabe() - disable colours
+	enable() - enable colours
+
+.. [#] Supporting terminals include rxvt-unicode_, and Eterm_.
