+pynsist is a tool to build Windows installers for your Python applications. The
+installers bundle Python itself, so you can distribute your application to
+people who don't have Python installed.
+
+At present, pynsist requires Python 3.3 or above.
+
+For more information, see `the documentation <http://pynsist.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_
+and `the examples <https://github.com/takluyver/pynsist/tree/master/examples>`_.
+
+Quickstart
+----------
+
+1. Get the tools. Install `NSIS <http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download>`_, and
+   then install pynsist from PyPI by running ``pip install pynsist``.
+
+2. Write a config file ``installer.cfg``, like this:
+
+   .. code-block:: ini
+   
+       [Application]
+       name=My App
+       version=1.0
+       # How to launch the app - this calls the 'main' function from the 'myapp' package:
+       entry_point=myapp:main
+       icon=myapp.ico
+
+       [Python]
+       version=3.4.0
+
+       [Include]
+       # Importable packages that your application requires, one per line
+       packages = requests
+            bs4
+            html5lib
+
+       # Other files and folders that should be installed
+       files = LICENSE
+           data_files/
+
+3. Run ``pynsist installer.cfg`` to generate your installer. If ``pynsist`` isn't
+   found, you can use ``python -m nsist installer.cfg`` instead.
