-# PyZMQ: Python bindings for ØMQ
-
-[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/zeromq/pyzmq.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/zeromq/pyzmq)
-
-This package contains Python bindings for [ØMQ](http://www.zeromq.org).
-ØMQ is a lightweight and fast messaging implementation.
-
-PyZMQ should work with any Python ≥ 2.6 (including Python 3), as well as PyPy.
-The Cython backend used by CPython supports libzmq ≥ 2.1.4 (including 3.2.x and 4.x),
-but the CFFI backend used by PyPy only supports libzmq ≥ 3.2.2 (including 4.x).
-
-For a summary of changes to pyzmq, see our
-[changelog](http://zeromq.github.io/pyzmq/changelog.html).
-
-### ØMQ 3.x, 4.x
-
-PyZMQ ≥ 2.2.0 fully supports the 3.x and 4.x APIs of libzmq,
-developed at [zeromq/libzmq](https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq).
-No code to change, no flags to pass,
-just build pyzmq against the latest and it should work.
-
-PyZMQ does not support the old libzmq 2 API on PyPy.
-
-## Documentation
-
-See PyZMQ's Sphinx-generated
-[documentation](http://zeromq.github.com/pyzmq) on GitHub for API
-details, and some notes on Python and Cython development. If you want to
-learn about using ØMQ in general, the excellent [ØMQ
-Guide](http://zguide.zeromq.org/py:all) is the place to start, which has a
-Python version of every example. We also have some information on our
-[wiki](https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/wiki).
-
-## Downloading
-
-Unless you specifically want to develop PyZMQ, we recommend downloading
-the PyZMQ source code, eggs, or wheels from
-[PyPI](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyzmq). On Windows, you can get `.exe` installers
-from [Christoph Gohlke](http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyzmq).
-
-You can also get the latest source code from our GitHub repository, but
-building from the repository will require that you install Cython
-version 0.16 or later.
-
-## Building and installation
-
-For more detail on building pyzmq, see [our Wiki](https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/wiki/Building-and-Installing-PyZMQ).
-
-We build eggs and wheels for OS X and Windows, so you can get a binary on those platforms with either:
-
- pip install pyzmq
-
-or
-
- easy_install pyzmq
-
-but compiling from source with `pip install pyzmq` should work in most environments.
-
-When compiling pyzmq (e.g. installing with pip on Linux),
-it is generally recommended that zeromq be installed separately, via homebrew, apt, yum, etc.
-If this is not available, pyzmq will *try* to build libzmq as a Python Extension,
-though this is not guaranteed to work.
-
-To build pyzmq from the git repo (including release tags) requires Cython.
-
-## Old versions
-
-For libzmq 2.0.x, use pyzmq release 2.0.10.1.
-
-pyzmq-2.1.11 was the last version of pyzmq to support Python 2.5,
-and pyzmq ≥ 2.2.0 requires Python ≥ 2.6.
-pyzmq-13.0.0 introduces PyPy support via CFFI, which only supports libzmq-3.2.2 and newer.
-
-PyZMQ releases ≤ 2.2.0 matched libzmq versioning, but this is no longer the case,
-starting with PyZMQ 13.0.0 (it was the thirteenth release, so why not?).
-PyZMQ ≥ 13.0 follows semantic versioning conventions accounting only for PyZMQ itself.
