+The ``python-qwt`` project is a pure Python translation of the Qwt C++ library 
+which implements Qt widgets for plotting curves. 
+It consists of a single Python package named `qwt` (and examples, doc, ...).
+
+The ``python-qwt`` project was initiated to solve -at least temporarily- the 
+obsolescence issue of `PyQwt` (the Python-Qwt C++ bindings library) which is 
+no longer maintained. The idea was to translate the Qwt C++ code to Python and 
+then to optimize some parts of the code by writing new modules based on NumPy 
+and other libraries.
+
+The following ``Qwt`` classes won't be reimplemented in ``python-qwt`` because 
+most powerful features already exist in ``guiqwt``: QwtCounter, QwtPicker, 
+QwtPlotPicker, QwtPlotZoomer and QwtEventPattern.
+QwtClipper is not implemented (and it will probably be very difficult or 
+impossible to implement it in pure Python without performance issues). As a 
+consequence, when zooming in a plot curve, the entire curve is still painted 
+(in other words, when working with large amount of data, there is no 
+performance gain when zooming in)."""
