+README
+
+
+This file contains information about the architecture (not the api) of the module
+and license information.  It is designed mostly for developers who need to
+understand the organization of the files, extensions, etc and the logic (or lack thereof)
+behind them so that they can continue development of the module.
+
+The key the understanding the module is to understand where it came from.
+Interpolation code in a variety of different forms for a variety of different purposes
+had been spread throughout the various parts of Enthought code.  The goal was to
+collect these various pieces of code and combine them into one module with a
+reasonable, intuitive api.  But under the hood, there are several extension
+modules whose functionalities overlap or do not naturally dovetail.
+
+Main Files:
+interpolate1d.py : 
+    Contains the Interpolate1d class and the interp1d functional wrapper
+    around it.  This mostly provides a user-interface; the user passes in
+    keywords, and according to those keywords, Interpolate1d will call functions
+    and classes in the wrapper files.
+interpolate2d.py : 
+    Completely analogous to interpolate1d.py.  A user interface that calls machinery
+    in the wrapper files.  Its organization is also almost completely analogous to
+    that of interpolate1d.py.
+interpolateNd.py : 
+    This file doubles as a user interface and wrapper file around the _nd_image
+    extension.  Interpolate1d and 2d are both operated by inputting lists of
+    points, which is pretty generic and lends itself to removing bad data etc.
+    But the _nd_image extension requires a uniform grid, so this file only performs
+    interpolation with the _nd_image extension.  _nd_image interpolates array entries,
+    so this file handles 1) formatting, and 2) translations between spatial coordinates and
+    array indices.
+    
+    The spline filtering step is carried over from ndimage, and is necessary to make
+    the extension module work properly.  In the future, it could be good to modify
+    the _nd_image module to include this annoying step itself and hide it from the
+    developer.
+
+Wrapper files:
+fitpack_wrapper.py :
+    This file provides the Spline and Spline2d classes which provide a variety of 1d and
+    2d spline functions.  It is these classes which are accessed by Interpolate1d and
+    Interpolate2d, but note that only part of their functionality is accessed.  Things like
+    smoothing and seeing spline coefficients are supported by Spline and Spline2d but to
+    exported.  Internally, these classes call the _dfitpack extension.
+    
+    This is based on code that was in scipy.interpolate.  Much of the functionality that was
+    in scipy.interpolate is not reproduced here.
+    
+interpolate_wrapper.py :
+    A variety of 1d interpolation functions.  Most of them are just wrappers around _interpolate,
+    but others are stand-alone.
+    
+algorithm526_wrapper.py :
+    very simple interface to the _interp_526 module.  The main reason for the new file is so
+    that the imported function is recognized by Interpolate2d as a function, rather than a
+    Fortran object so that _init_xyz works.
+
+Extensions:
+_dfitpack :
+    Fortran extension module.  This wraps part of the functionality of the fitpack library.
+_interpolate :
+    C extension module with basic functions.
+_nd_image : 
+    C extensions module.  It uses spline interpolation of various orders to interpolate entries
+    in an array.
+_interp_526 :
+    Fortran extension module implementing TOMS Algorithm 526.  Taken from the Pore Pressure
+    project.
+
