+<h1>About</h1>
+<p>
+Welcome to pypi.python.org, the Python community's software hosting service.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Here you'll find a Python package to suit almost any need.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The project was started in 2002 by Richard Jones,
+and has since grown to include the contributions of over a dozen Python
+programmers, <span tal:content="app/store/count_packages" /> packages
+and millions of downloads.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Python Package Index (PyPI) is hosted by the Python Software Foundation (who run the python.org systems) but the project is community-run. Currently there's two maintainers, Richard and Martin von Löwis.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The index itself is written in Python but pre-dates modern Python web frameworks.
+
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To contact the admins, please 
+use the
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=66150&amp;atid=513504">Get help</a>
+or
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=66150&amp;atid=513503">Bug reports</a>
+links.
+</p>
+
+<p>To submit a package use
+"<a href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/CheeseShopTutorial">python setup.py upload</a>"
+and to use a package from this index either
+"<a href="http://pip.openplans.org/">pip</a> install <i>package</i>"
+or download, unpack and "python setup.py install" it.
+</p>
+
+<p>PyPI now provides a <a href="/mirrors">Mirror infrastructure</a> to allow
+users to continue downloading file even if pypi.python.org is unavailable.</p>
+
+<p>
+PyPI has also been known as The Python Cheese Shop (and indeed cheeseshop.python.org still works).
+</p>
+
+<p>And now for something completely different...</p>
+<p style="padding-left: 2em">
+<strong>Customer</strong>: Now then, some cheese please, my good man.
+<br />
+<strong>Owner</strong>: (lustily) Certainly, sir. What would you like?
+<br />
+<strong>Customer</strong>: Well, eh, how about a little red Leicester.
+<br />
+<strong>Owner</strong>: I'm, a-fraid we're fresh out of red Leicester, sir.
