+PyVOLTHA
+========
+
+PyVOLTHA is a collection of shared Python libraries that are use to
+create Python-based
+`VOLTHA <https://wiki.opencord.org/display/CORD/VOLTHA>`__ Device
+Adapters and other Python utilities (CLI, …) that need to work with the
+VOLTHA v2.0 and later Golang core.
+
+Initially PyVOLTHA will target only Python 2.7, but contributors are
+encouraged to write or refactor any library methods to eventually
+support Python 3.6.x or later.
+

+
+Detailed Release History
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+v0.1.0 (2019-02-01)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Experimental release of pyvoltha to test pip install capabilities.
+ This version has manually created protobuf definitions and will
+ probably not be very usable by any device adapters.
+- This version is not under source control management at this time.
+ Initial VCS support is anticipated in the very near future when
+ portions of this project can be consumed by a device adapter
+ developer.
+- Protobuf files in the ‘proto’ directory were hand copied over from
+ the voltha-go repository. These will eventually be in a separate repo
+ that developers will need to include.
+- Most all import paths fixed but that does not mean everything works
+- A fair number of original unit tests are working after import
+ changes. Others need work.
