+
+This is a python wrapper for the WINGs library. With it you can write python
+based programs which will have WINGs based graphic interfaces.
+
+This module in not built by default. To build it you need python2.1 or later
+and swig-1.3.14 or later.
+
+To build it, first compile and install WINGs. after that run 'make' in this
+directory. 'make install' will install the python module into the python tree.
+
+run test.py or even WINGs.py for an example.
+
+the code is not yet finished and probably won't do everything you expect it
+to do.
+
+Note: currently the module expects WINGs installed to build. it won't take
+the WINGs libraries and header files from the source tree. You need to
+install WINGs first. Even if an old version of WINGs is already installed,
+you still need to nstall the newly built WINGs, else the python module will
+be built against the old version
