+Temporary PostgreSQL databases for Django and pytest
+====================================================
+
+Use case
+--------
+
+This pytest plugin can be used to test a Django application that uses
+PostgreSQL. It leverages the `testing.postgresql`_ module to setup a
+temporary PostgreSQL database server and injects the configuration for it
+into Django's settings. It is intended to be used together with
+`pytest-django`_.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+`testing.postgresql`_ needs the postgresql server binary available.
+
+How to use
+----------
+
+To use, simply install the package in your testing environment and laod
+the `django-testing-psotgresql` plugin when running pytest (pytest normally
+auto-discovers it).
+
+The plugin re-uses the configuration used by `pytest-django`_.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+.. _testing.postgresql: https://pypi.org/project/testing.postgresql/
+.. _pytest-django: https://pypi.org/project/pytest-django/
