-# Microsoft Azure IoT Libraries for Python
-
-This is the Microsoft IoT namespace package.
-
-This package is not intended to be installed directly by the end user.
-
-Since Python 3.0, this is a Python 2.x package **only**, Python 3.x libraries will use [PEP420](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0420/) as a namespace package strategy. To avoid issues package servers that do not support `python_requires`, a Python 3.x package is installed, but is empty.
-
-It provides the necessary files for other packages to extend the `azure.iot` namespace.
