+martINI
+=======
+        
+martINI is an extended facility for utilizing
+`ini files <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file>`_ in python.
+martINI includes API, command-line, and web interfaces.
+martINI is built on the
+`ConfigParser <http://docs.python.org/library/configparser.html>`_ module,
+which is part of python's standard library.
+
+
+Command Line Tools
+------------------
+
+martINI comes with several command line tools for manipulating .ini
+files:
+
+ * ini-get: get key or section values from a .ini files
+ * ini-set: set .ini file values 
+ * ini-delete: delete .ini key-value pairs from a .ini files
+ * ini-munge: combine several .ini files 
+
+Running the commands will display usage information.
+
+
+TODO
+----
+
+Consider refactoring to use 
+`INITools <http://pythonpaste.org/initools/>`_ instead of ``ConfigParser``.
