+meta-python
+================================
+
+Introduction
+-------------------------
+
+This layer is intended to be the home of python modules for OpenEmbedded.
+Modules in this layer need to be independent of openembedded-core and
+meta-openembedded/meta-oe. Because of this, modules required by 'gateone'
+and 'anki' are not included and remain in:
+        meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/python.
+
+Dependencies
+-------------------------
+
+The meta-python layer depends on:
+
+        URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
+        layers: meta
+        branch: master
+        revision: HEAD
+
+        URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
+        layers: meta-oe
+        branch: master
+        revision: HEAD
+
+Please follow the recommended setup procedures of your OE distribution.
+For Angstrom that is:
+        http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom,
+other distros should have similar online resources.
