+Python 3.6 Debian stretch backport
+========
+
+Unofficial Python 3.6 backports for Debian stretch.
+
+
+## Usage
+
+If you just want to grab pre-built Debian packages, you can find them in the
+[Releases][releases] tab on GitHub. Download the ones you want, then run `sudo
+dpkg -i *.deb` to install them.
+
+
+## Building from source
+
+To build from source, clone this repo and run `make builddeb` on a machine
+running Debian stretch. It follows [roughly these backporting
+instructions][how-to-backport] in order to build a proper backport of Python
+3.6 on stretch.
+
+Building from source is relatively fast and is recommended for anyone who has a
+healthy distrust of pre-built binaries from a random internet stranger.
