+
+About PyTAPS
+============
+
+PyTAPS is a Python package designed to interface with ITAPS, focusing on the
+iMesh interface.
+
+Building PyTAPS
+===============
+
+Like most Python packages, PyTAPS uses Distutils for installation, so in general
+setup consists simply of typing ``python setup.py install`` at the root
+directory for PyTAPS. However, certain iMesh interfaces may require some
+additional setup.
+
+With MOAB
+---------
+
+Since Python modules are loaded as shared libraries, MOAB's iMesh library needs
+to be built with position-independent code. When configuring MOAB, specify
+``--with-pic`` on the command line.
