+pytyle (extensible tiling manager).
+
+An extensible tiling manager that can fit into any EWMH compatible
+window manager. Uses Python and the Python X Library.
+
+PyTyle is meant to run in the background, so run it like so:
+
+ pytyle &
+
+You may want to add the above command to your ~/.xinitrc or
+another startup script like ~/.config/openbox/autostart.
+
+If you're having trouble running it on start up, try this in
+your ~/.xinitrc:
+
+ (sleep 5 && pytyle) &
+
+It will give the window manager time to startup before PyTyle starts
+asking it for information. Increase/decrease the sleep timeout
+appropriately.
+
+After PyTyle has been executed for the first time, it will create a
+configuration file in your XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pytyle/ directory (usually
+~/.config/pytyle) called pytylerc. The comments in the configuration
+file will explain everything.
+
+It has been tested relatively well on OpenBox and partially on Fluxbox.
+It should, in theory, work with any window manager complying with the
+EWMH standards.
