+ A DB API v2.0 compatible interface to SQLite 3.0
+ Embedded Relational Database.
+ Copyright (c) 2001-2003

+
+Python versions supported: Python 2.1 or later
+SQLite version required: SQLite 3.0 or later
+
+Overview:
+
+This is an extension module for the SQLite embedded relational database. It
+tries to conform to the Python DB-API Spec v2 as far as possible. One problem
+is that SQLite returns everything as text. This is a result of SQLite's
+internal representation of data, however it still may be possible to return
+data in the type specified by the table definitions. I am still working on
+that, and will require some study of the SQLite source.
+
+Installation:
+
+Installation should be relatively simple. Following that prescribed by Python,
+it can be done in two steps:
+
+ python setup.py build
+ python setup.py install
+
+For building PySQLite on Windows, check out the file INSTALL.win32.
