 Welcome to m209's documentation!

+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+``m209`` is a complete `M-209`_ simulation library and command-line application
+written in Python 3. ``m209`` is historically accurate, meaning that it can
+exchange messages with an actual M-209 cipher machine.
+
+It is hoped that this library will be useful to M-209 enthusiasts, historians,
+and students interested in cryptography.
+
+``m209`` strives to be Pythonic, easy to use, and comes with both unit tests
+and documentation. ``m209`` is a library for building applications for
+encrypting and decrypting M-209 messages. ``m209`` also ships with a simple
+command-line application that can encrypt & decrypt messages for scripting and
+experimentation.
+

+   $ pip install --upgrade m209        # upgrade
+
+You may also download a tarball or .zip file of the latest code using the "get
+source" link on the `m209 Bitbucket page`_. Alternatively if you use
+Mercurial_, you can clone the repository with the following command::
+
