+"""
+Kconfiglib is a Python library for scripting and extracting information from
+Kconfig-based configuration systems. Features include the following:
+
+ - Symbol values and properties can be looked up and values assigned
+   programmatically.
+ - .config files can be read and written.
+ - Expressions can be evaluated in the context of a Kconfig configuration.
+ - Relations between symbols can be quickly determined, such as finding all
+   symbols that reference a particular symbol.
+ - Highly compatible with the scripts/kconfig/*conf utilities. The test suite
+   automatically compares outputs between Kconfiglib and the C implementation
+   for a large number of cases.
+
+For the Linux kernel, scripts are run using
+
+ $ make scriptconfig SCRIPT=<path to script> [SCRIPT_ARG=<arg>]
+
+Running scripts via the 'scriptconfig' target ensures that required environment
+variables (SRCARCH, ARCH, srctree, KERNELVERSION, etc.) are set up correctly.
+Alternative architectures can be specified like for other 'make *config'
+targets:
+
+ $ make scriptconfig ARCH=mips SCRIPT=<path to script> [SCRIPT_ARG=<arg>]
+
+The script will receive the name of the Kconfig file to load in sys.argv[1].
+(As of Linux 3.7.0-rc8 this is always "Kconfig" from the kernel top-level
+directory.) If an argument is provided with SCRIPT_ARG, it will appear in
+sys.argv[2].
+
+To get an interactive Python prompt with Kconfiglib preloaded and a Config
+object 'c' created, use
+
+ $ make iscriptconfig [ARCH=<architecture>]
+
+Kconfiglib requires Python 2. For (i)scriptconfig the command to run the Python
+interpreter can be passed in the environment variable PYTHONCMD (defaults to
+'python'; PyPy works too and is a bit faster).
+
+Look in the examples/ subdirectory for examples, which can be run with e.g.
+
+ $ make scriptconfig SCRIPT=Kconfiglib/examples/print_tree.py
+
+or
+
+ $ make scriptconfig SCRIPT=Kconfiglib/examples/help_grep.py SCRIPT_ARG="kernel"
+
+Look in testsuite.py for the test suite.
