 # Python Func Runtime
 
-This repository contains the function invocation and runtime framework for 
-Knative Python functions.
+This middleware is used by Knative Functions to expose a Function written in
+Python as a network service.

+└── README.md     - This Readme
+```
+
+## Development
+
+- install `poetry` via `pipx`
+- activate the virtual environment managed by poetry via `poetry shell`
+  Note that on some environments this command may cause collissions with
+  configured keyboard shortcuts.  If there are problems, you can source
+  the environment variables from the autogenerated venv with:
+  `source $(poetry env info --path)/bin/activate`
+- install dependencies into the activated environment with `poetry install`
+- run the example via `python cmd/fhttp/main.py`
+- deactivate the virtual environment with `exit`

-
-## Running
-
-Create a local virtual environment if it does not already exist:
-```bash
-python3 -m venv venv
-```
-Activate the virtual environment:
-```bash
-source ./venv/bin/activate
-```
-Ensure the requirements are installed:
-```bash
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-```
-Run the application:
-```bash
-python3 ./main.py
-```
-use `^C` to stop the application
-
-To Deactivate the virtual environment:
-```bash
-deactivate
