+.SH NAME
+ivycpy \- a Python library for accessing Ivy Bus
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B # importing ivycpy
+
+.B from ivycpy import *
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page documents briefly the
+.B ivycpy library.
+
+This Python library (actually C wrapper around ivy-c library) allow
+to use Ivy bus using Python. This library is a wrapper above ivyc library (3.4)
+and procures functions to plug a Python application onto the Ivy Bus.
+This version is a very early release (ivycpy213sa stands for ivycpy for
+Python 213 - Stand Alone) which embodies ivy object modules,
+and procures its own tkinter shared library . Further release should
+just rely on dynamic linking with both libivy.so and native _tkinter.so, but
+some details stuff required to hack both ivy-c and tkinter themselves, so.
+.PP
+Ivycpy is developped using SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator),
+see http://www.swig.org for further inforation on SWIG.
+

+.SH EXAMPLES
+Some examples of Python scripts are provided in
+/usr/share/doc/ivycpy directory .
