+LOOT API Python Module
+=======================
+
+A Python module that wraps the LOOT API, generated by [pybind11](https://github.com/pybind/pybind11).
+
+## Build Instructions
+
+The module's build system uses [CMake](https://cmake.org/), so make sure it's installed, then run it, and build the generated solution file.
+
+Only Windows support has been tested, though Linux builds should also be possible.
+
+## Usage
+
+Copy the `loot_api.pyd` file that is built and the `loot_api.dll` file in the same directory to wherever you wish to import the module from, then:
+
+```
+>>> import loot_api
+>>> loot_api.loot_is_compatible(0,9,0)
+True
+```
+
+**Note:** The module is currently built against revision [22d0577](https://github.com/loot/loot/tree/22d0577415ef3e8598d5e145209b14e03c4e144e) of the API, which is post-0.9.2 and pre-0.10.0, but uses the v0.10 metadata syntax (as specified at that revision, in case there are further changes before the v0.10 release).
