+
+    The Trio project's goal is to produce a production-quality, `permissively
+    licensed <https://github.com/python-trio/trio/blob/master/LICENSE>`__,
+    async/await-native I/O library for Python. Like all async libraries,
+    its main purpose is to help you write programs that do **multiple
+    things at the same time** with **parallelized I/O**. A web spider that
+    wants to fetch lots of pages in parallel, a web server that needs to
+    juggle lots of downloads and websocket connections at the same time, a
+    process supervisor monitoring multiple subprocesses... that sort of
+    thing. Compared to other libraries, Trio attempts to distinguish
+    itself with an obsessive focus on **usability** and
+    **correctness**. Concurrency is complicated; we try to make it *easy*
+    to get things *right*.
+
+    Trio was built from the ground up to take advantage of the `latest
+    Python features <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/>`__, and
+    draws inspiration from `many sources
+    <https://github.com/python-trio/trio/wiki/Reading-list>`__, in
+    particular Dave Beazley's `Curio <https://curio.readthedocs.io/>`__.
+    The resulting design is radically simpler than older competitors like
+    `asyncio <https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html>`__ and
+    `Twisted <https://twistedmatrix.com/>`__, yet just as capable. Trio is
+    the Python I/O library I always wanted; I find it makes building
+    I/O-oriented programs easier, less error-prone, and just plain more
+    fun. `Perhaps you'll find the same
+    <https://github.com/python-trio/trio/wiki/Testimonials>`__.
+
+    This project is young and still somewhat experimental: the overall
+    design is solid and the existing features are fully tested and
+    documented, but you may encounter missing functionality or rough
+    edges. We *do* encourage you do use it, but you should `read and
+    subscribe to issue #1
+    <https://github.com/python-trio/trio/issues/1>`__ to get warning and a
+    chance to give feedback about any compatibility-breaking changes.
+
+    Vital statistics:
+
+    * Supported environments: Linux, macOS, or Windows running some kind of Python
+      3.7-or-better (either CPython or PyPy3 is fine). \*BSD and illumos likely
+      work too, but are not tested.
+
+    * Install: ``python3 -m pip install -U trio`` (or on Windows, maybe
+      ``py -3 -m pip install -U trio``). No compiler needed.
