+
+This is an API overhaul of PyNUT_, a Python library to allow communication with NUT
+(`Network UPS Tools`_) servers.
+
+**Note**: This is an unofficial project, and is in no way supported or
+endorsed by the `Network UPS Tools developers`_.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+The module itself requires only Python (known to work with versions 2.6 through
+3.4). If you wish to run the tests, do ``pip install -r requirements-testing.txt``.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Example::
+
+    from nut2 import PyNUTClient
+    client = PyNUTClient()
+    client.help()
+    client.list_ups()
+    client.list_vars("My_UPS")
+
+Please note that this module has completely and intentionally broken
+backwards compatibility with PyNUT 1.X.
+
+See inline documentation for more usage information.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Just use pip::
+
+    pip install nut2
+
+PyNUT
+-----
+
+The following information is copied from the original PyNUT README:
+
+    This directory contains various NUT Client related Python scripts, written by
+    David Goncalves, and released under GPL v3.
+
+    * "module": this directory contains PyNUT.py, which is a Python abstraction
+      class to access NUT server(s). You can use it in Python programs to access NUT's
+      upsd data server in a simple way, without having to know the NUT protocol.
+
+    To import it on Python programs you have to use the following (case sensitive) :
+    'import PyNUT'
+
+    This module provides a 'PyNUTClient' class that can be used to connect and get
+    data from an upsd data server.
+
+    To install the PyNUT module on Debian/Ubuntu, copy it to:
+    /usr/share/python-support/python-pynut/
+
+    This directory also contains test_nutclient.py, which is a PyNUT test program.
+    For this to be fully functional, you will need to adapt the login, password and
+    upsname to fit your configuration.
