+tcm-ui-reqs
+===========
+
+Python dependencies of the Mozilla/uTest Test Case Manager project UI
+component. Pulled in as a submodule of https://github.com/mozilla/tcm/
+
+Packages can be added here with ``pip install --download=. 
+packageName==version``.
+
+This repo can be used as the package source for an installation by pointing
+pip's ``--find-links`` option at this directory (and optionally using
+``--no-index`` to avoid network checks as well).
