+tasklib is a Python library for interacting with taskwarrior_ databases, using
+a queryset API similar to that of Django's ORM.
+
+Supports Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 with taskwarrior 2.1.x and above.
+Older versions of taskwarrior are untested and may not work.

-Filtering Tasks
----------------
-
-Tasks can be filtered using the ``TaskQuerySet`` API which emulates the
-Django ORM::
-
-    >>> tw.tasks.filter(status='pending', tags__contain='work')
-    ['Upgrade Ubuntu Server']
-
-Filter arguments are passed to the ``task`` command (``__`` is replaced by
-a period); so the above example is equivalent to the following command::
-
-    $ task status:pending tags.contain=work
+For more advanced usage, see the documentation_.

-Tasks can also be filtered using raw commands, like so::

-    >>> tw.tasks.filter('status:pending +work')
-    ['Upgrade Ubuntu Server']
