 python-calendarweek provides a CalendarWeek dataclass for representing one
 week in a year, and utility functions to work with it in pure Python or
 Django.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The `CalendarWeek` object
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main interface is the `CalendarWeek` object. The following example shows its
+interface.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   from datetime import date
+   from calendarweek import CalendarWeek
+
+   # Create an object for the third week in 2012
+   week = CalendarWeek(year=2012, week=3)
+
+   # Get the current week (or the week for any date)
+   week = CalendarWeek.from_date(date.today())
+
+   # Short-hand for the current week
+   week = CalendarWeek()
+
+   # Get all weeks within a date range
+   start = date(2012, 3, 18)
+   end = date(2012, 4, 19)
+   weeks = CalendarWeek.weeks_within(start, end)
+
+   # Get the last week of a year
+   week = CalendarWeek.get_last_week_of_year(2012)
+
+   # Get the Wednesday of the selected week (or any weekday)
+   day = week[3]
+
+   # Check whether a day is within a week
+   is_contained = day in week
+
+   # Get the week five weeks later
+   week = week + 5
+
+   # Additionally, all comparison operators are implemented
+

+Some utilities for Django are contained in the `calendarweek.django` module:
+
+- `i18n_day_names` — Returns a tuple of localised day names
+- `i18n_day_abbrs` — Returns a tuple of abbreviated, localised day names
+- `i18n_month_names` — Returns a tuple of localised month names
+- `i18n_month_abbrs` — Returns a tuple of abbreviated, localised month names
+- All the above for suffixed with `_choices` to get a list of tuples ready for a model
+  or form field's `choices`
+- `i18n_js` — A view returning the above as JSON ready to be consumed by a frontend
