+Python NUT Client files
+-----------------------
+
+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.
+
+
+* "app": this directory contains the NUT-Monitor application, that uses the
+PyNUT class, along with its resources.
+
+To install it, you will either need to keep the files together, or to install:
+- NUT-Monitor to /usr/bin, /usr/X11R6/bin/ or something like that,
+- gui.glade to /usr/share/nut-monitor/,
+- nut-monitor.png to something like /usr/share/pixmaps/
+- and nut-monitor.desktop to /usr/share/applications
