-# 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.

-#### 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.
