+README: py-smbus
+
+Prerequisites:
+Be sure to build and install the lm-sensors userspace first. This package
+requires one of the header files from that.
+
+To build:
+ $ python setup.py build
+
+To install (will also build if necessary):
+ $ python setup.py install
+
+For general build/install help:
+ $ python setup.py --help-commands
+
+Frequently Answered Question:
+
+Q: It's throwing exceptions, nothing works, what's wrong?
+
+ A1: You need write permissions to the i2c-dev devices. Try running as root.
+
+ A2: Addresses in Linux/I2C are the most-sig 7 bits, right-justified. E.g.
+ if your device uses address 0xc0 to write and 0xc1 to read, then use
+ address 0x60 with this module.
+
+ A3: Some other kernel driver has claimed that I2C address. Unload it first.
