+one_off_login.py
+----------------
+
+Minimal example for login, support email and two factor codes.
+After the login, the code will print some account info and exit.
+No information is persisted to disk.
+
+persistent_login.py
+-------------------
+
+In this example, after the login prompt, the client will remain connected until interrupted.
+The client will attempt to reconnect after losing network connectivity or when steam is down.

+Recipes
+-------
+
+Each directory contains recipes using the ``steam`` package.
+See the individual ``README`` for details.
+
+All recipes assume the enviroment is already set up.
+In order not to break any system packages we will use ``virtualenv``.
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+    $ virtualenv env
+    $ source env/bin/activate
+    (env)$ pip install steam
+
+To deactivate
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+    (env)$ deactivate
