+This is a Python interface to Sun RPC, designed and implemented mostly
+by reading the Internet RFCs about the subject.
+
+*** NOTE: xdr.py has evolved into the standard module xdrlib.py ***
+
+There are two library modules, xdr.py and rpc.py, and several example
+clients: mountclient.py, nfsclient.py, and rnusersclient.py,
+implementing the NFS Mount protocol, (part of) the NFS protocol, and
+the "rnusers" protocol (used by rusers(1)), respectively.  The latter
+demonstrates the use of broadcast via the Port mapper's CALLIT
+procedure.
+
+There is also a way to create servers in Python.
+
+To test the nfs client, run it from the shell with something like this:
+
+  python -c 'import nfsclient; nfsclient.test()' [hostname [filesystemname]]
+
+When called without a filesystemname, it lists the filesystems at the
+host; default host is the local machine.
+
+Other clients are tested similarly.
+
+For hostname, use e.g. wuarchive.wustl.edu or gatekeeper.dec.com (two
+hosts that are known to export NFS filesystems with little restrictions).
+
+There are now two different RPC compilers:
+
+1) Wim Lewis rpcgen.py found on http://www.omnigroup.com/~wiml/soft/stale-index.html#python. 
+
+2) Peter Åstrands rpcgen.py, which is part of "pynfs" (http://www.cendio.se/~peter/pynfs/).
