+pyownet, a pythonic interface to ownet
+======================================
+
+pyownet is a pure python package that allows to access an `owserver`_
+via the `owserver network protocol`_, in short *ownet*.
+
+owserver is part of the `OWFS 1-Wire File System`_:
+
+    OWFS is an easy way to use the powerful 1-wire system of
+    Dallas/Maxim.
+
+    OWFS is a simple and flexible program to monitor and control the
+    physical environment. You can write scripts to read temperature,
+    flash lights, write to an LCD, log and graph, ...
+
+The ``pyownet.protocol`` module is a low-level implementation of the
+ownet protocol. Interaction with an owserver takes place via a proxy
+object whose methods correspond to ownet messages:
+
+::
+
+    >>> owproxy = OwnetProxy(host="owserver.example.com", port=4304)
+    >>> owproxy.ping()
+    >>> owproxy.dir()
+    ['/10.67C6697351FF/', '/05.4AEC29CDBAAB/']
+    >>> owproxy.present('/10.67C6697351FF/temperature')
+    True
+    >>> owproxy.read('/10.67C6697351FF/temperature')
+    '     91.6195'
