+# Python package for GridTools headers and CMake files
+
+## Usage
+
+Use the following when compiling C++ code agains GridTools programatically from Python.
+Either by calling a compiler directly or by generating a CMake project and calling CMake on it.
+
+```python
+import gridtools_cpp
+include_dir = gridtools_cpp.get_include_dir()   # header files can be found here
+cmake_dir = gridtools_cpp.get_cmake_dir()       # cmake files can be found here
+```
+
+## Development
+
+In order to be able to work on this package, it is necessary to run a preparation step.
+This will generate the `setup.cfg` file from `setup.cfg.in` and install the gridtools header distribution into the package data.
+It will read the version number from the top-level `version.txt` and copy the `LICENSE` file to where packaging tools can find it.
+
+All of this requires `nox`, the preparation step runs in an isolated environment and installs additional requirements `cmake` and `ninja` at runtime.
+
+```bash
+# pip install nox
+# nox -s prepare
+```
+
+To delete all generated files run
+
+```bash
+# nox -s clean clean_cache
+```
+
+where `clean_cache` deletes chached files from Nox sessions like CMake builds and testing wheels (found in `.nox/.cache`), and `clean` deletes visible artifacts like `dist/`, `build/`, `.egg-info/`.
+`setup.cfg` will not be deleted for convenience, to make sure tools keep functioning as expected.
+
+### Installing
+
+As always it is recommended to carry out the following steps in a virtual environment:
+
+```bash
+# nox -s build -- --wheel .
+# pip install dist/gridtools_cpp-2.2.0-py3-none-any.whl
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+Using nox, the tests will be carried out in isolated python environments for you:
+
+```bash
+# nox -s test_src
+```
+
+To test the wheel distribution specifically:
+
+```bash
+# nox -s build_wheel test_wheel_with_python-3.10  # replace 3.10 with the Python version you are running
+```
+
+### Advanced testing (all supported versions)
+
+The following requires you to have Python interpreters for Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 in your system path.
+
+```bash
+# nox
+```
+
+### Building for distribution
+
+Uses (`build`)[https://pypa-build.readthedocs.io/en/latest/], follow the link for available options.
+
+```bash
+# nox -s build -- <build options>
+```
