+# Archive note
+Since I haven't been using Python in recent years too frequently, I also have not
+been working on the issues and necessary fixes to this library.  
+Therefore I decided to archive this project.  
+Feel free to fork and continue the project.
+If you want to also take over the corresponding project on PyPI, please drop me an email.
