+Current Release
+---------------
+
+Version 1.4.0.271
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The SolidFire Python SDK is a collection of libraries that facilitate
+integration and orchestration between proprietary systems and
+third-party applications. The Python SDK allows developers to deeply
+integrate SolidFire system API with the Python programming language. The
+SolidFire Python SDK reduces the amount of additional coding time
+required for integration.
+

+
+Getting Help
+------------
+
+If you have any questions or comments about this product, contact
+ng-sf-host-integrations-sdk@netapp.com or reach out to the online
+developer community at `ThePub <http://netapp.io>`__. Your feedback
+helps us focus our efforts on new features and capabilities.

+
+`Release
+Notes <https://github.com/solidfire/solidfire-sdk-python/blob/master/NetApp_SolidFire_Python_SDK_Release_Notes.pdf>`__
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+**From PyPI**
+
+::
+
+    pip install solidfire-sdk-python
+
+**From Source**
+
+*Note*: It is recommended using
+`virtualenv <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv>`__ for isolating the
+python environment to only the required libraries.
+
+Alternatively, for development purposes or to inspect the source, the
+following will work:
+
+::
+
+    git clone git@github.com:solidfire/solidfire-sdk-python.git  
+    cd solidfire-sdk-python
+    git checkout develop
+    pip install -e ".[dev, test, docs, release]"
+    python setup.py install
+
+Then append the location of this directory to the ``PYTHONPATH``
+environment variable to use the SDK in other python scripts:
+
+::
+
+    export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/sf-python-sdk/
+
+That's it -- you are ready to start interacting with your SolidFire
+cluster using Python!
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Step 1 - Build an `Element <https://pythonhosted.org/solidfire-sdk-python/solidfire.html#solidfire.Element>`__ object using the factory
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is the preferred way to construct the
+`Element <https://pythonhosted.org/solidfire-sdk-python/solidfire.html#solidfire.Element>`__
+object. The factory will make a call to the SolidFire cluster using the
+credentials supplied to test the connection. It will also set the
+version to communicate with based on the highest number supported by the
+SDK and Element OS. Optionally, you can choose to set the version
+manually and whether or not to verify SSL. Read more about it in the
+`ElementFactory <https://pythonhosted.org/solidfire-sdk-python/solidfire.html#solidfire.factory.ElementFactory>`__ documentation.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from solidfire.factory import ElementFactory
+
+    # Use ElementFactory to get a SolidFireElement object.
+    sfe = ElementFactory.create("ip-address-of-cluster", "username", "password")
+
+Step 2 - Call the API method and retrieve the result
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All service methods in SolidFireElement call API endpoints and they all
+return result objects. The naming convention is :code:`[method_name]_result`.
+For example, :code:`list_accounts` returns a :code:`list_accounts_result` object
+which has a property called :code:`accounts` that can be iterated.
+
+This example sends a request to list accounts then pulls the first account
+from the :code:`add_account_result` object.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Send the request and wait for the result then pull the AccountID
+    list_accounts_result = sfe.list_accounts()
+    account = list_accounts_result.accounts[0];   
+
+More examples using the Python SDK
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from solidfire.factory import ElementFactory
+
+    # Create connection to SF Cluster
+    sfe = ElementFactory.create("ip-address-of-cluster", "username", "password")
+
+    # --------- EXAMPLE 1 - CREATE AN ACCOUNT -----------
+    # Send the request with required parameters and gather the result
+    add_account_result = sfe.add_account(username="example-account")
+    # Pull the account ID from the result object
+    account_id = add_account_result.account_id
+
+    # --------- EXAMPLE 2 - CREATE A VOLUME -------------
+    # Send the request with required parameters and gather the result
+    create_volume_result = sfe.create_volume(name="example-volume",
+                                             account_id=account_id,
+                                             total_size=1000000000,
+                                             enable512e=False)
+    # Pull the VolumeID off the result object
+    volume_id = create_volume_result.volume_id
+
+    # --------- EXAMPLE 3 - LIST ONE VOLUME FOR AN ACCOUNT -------------
+    # Send the request with desired parameters and pull the first volume in the
+    # result
+    volume = sfe.list_volumes(accounts=[account_id], limit=1).volumes[0]
+    # pull the iqn from the volume
+    iqn = volume.iqn
+
+    # --------- EXAMPLE 3 - MODIFY A VOLUME -------------
+    # Send the request with the desired parameters
+    sfe.modify_volume(volume_id=volume_id, total_size=2000000000)
+
+More Examples

+
+More specific examples are available `here <https://github.com/solidfire/solidfire-sdk-python/blob/master/examples/examples.rst>`__
+
+Logging
+-------
+
+To configure logging responses, execute the following:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import logging
+    from solidfire import common
+    common.setLogLevel(logging.DEBUG)
+
+To access the logger for the Element instance:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+     from solidfire.common import LOG
+
+Timeouts
+--------
+
+Connection timeout (useful for failing fast when a host becomes
+unreachable):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from solidfire.factory import ElementFactory
+    sfe = ElementFactory.create("ip-address-of-cluster", "username", "password")
+    sfe.timeout(600)
+
+Read timeout (useful for extending time for a service call to return):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from solidfire.factory import ElementFactory
+    sfe = ElementFactory.create("ip-address-of-cluster", "username", "password")
+    sf.read_timeout(600)
