+Python Prompt Toolkit 3.0
+=========================
+
+.. warning::
+
+    Notice that this is the prompt_toolkit 3.0 documentation. It is mostly
+    compatible with the 2.0 branch. The difference is that prompt_toolkit 3.0
+    requires at least Python 3.6. On the plus side, it uses asyncio natively
+    (rather than it's own event loop), and we have type annotations everywhere.
+
+`prompt_toolkit` is a library for building powerful interactive command line
+and terminal applications in Python.
+
+
+It can be a very advanced pure Python replacement for `GNU readline
+<http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html>`_, but it can also be
+used for building full screen applications.
+
+.. image:: images/ptpython-2.png
+
+Some features:
+
+- Syntax highlighting of the input while typing. (For instance, with a Pygments lexer.)
+- Multi-line input editing.
+- Advanced code completion.
+- Selecting text for copy/paste. (Both Emacs and Vi style.)
+- Mouse support for cursor positioning and scrolling.
+- Auto suggestions. (Like `fish shell <http://fishshell.com/>`_.)
+- No global state.
+
+Like readline:
+
+- Both Emacs and Vi key bindings.
+- Reverse and forward incremental search.
+- Works well with Unicode double width characters. (Chinese input.)
+
+Works everywhere:
+
+- Pure Python. Runs on all Python versions starting at Python 3.6.
+  (Python 2.6 - 3.x is supported in prompt_toolkit 2.0; not 3.0).
+- Runs on Linux, OS X, OpenBSD and Windows systems.
+- Lightweight, the only dependencies are Pygments and wcwidth.
+- No assumptions about I/O are made. Every prompt_toolkit application should
+  also run in a telnet/ssh server or an `asyncio
+  <https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html>`_ process.
+
+Have a look at :ref:`the gallery <gallery>` to get an idea of what is possible.
+
+Getting started
+---------------
+
+Go to :ref:`getting started <getting_started>` and build your first prompt. 
+Issues are tracked `on the Github project
