+Welcome
+=======
+
+Pylearn is a Python library for machine learning, built on top of Theano, our 
+library for defining, optimizing and evaluating mathematical expressions
+involving multi-dimensional arrays.
+
+This documentation is under construction, but you can already access the
+automatically-generated API doc, along with more extensive explanations for 
+some modules.
+
+Download
+========
+
+We recommend the latest development version, available via::
+
+    hg clone http://hg.assembla.com/pylearn Pylearn
+
+The ``pylearn`` subfolder should be on your ``$PYTHONPATH``.
+
+Documentation

+
+For the moment, the following documentation is available.
+
+* :doc:`io.SeriesTables module <seriestables>` -- Saves error series and other statistics during training
+* `API <api/>`_ -- The automatically-generated API documentation

+You can download the latest `PDF documentation <http://deeplearning.net/software/pylearn/pylearn.pdf>`_, rather than reading it online.
