+Python wrapper for the arXiv API: http://arxiv.org/help/api/index
+
+## About arXiv
+[arXiv](http://arxiv.org/) is a project by the Cornell University Library that provides open access to 1,000,000+ articles in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance, and Statistics.
+
+They have [an API](http://arxiv.org/help/api/index) that uses ATOM feeds to serve simple database queries.
+Unfortunately, handling these ATOM requsts can be clumsy (especially given inconsistency in data between different result objects, even in the same query).
+This is where arxiv.py comes it: it constructs requests for arXiv and gets ATOM feeds via a simple handful of methods, and parses the results into an intuitive format.
+
+Cool demos hopefully coming soon!
+
+## Docs

+Coming later tonight!
