+
+#Python Bloom Filter
+
+
+This Bloom Filter has its tightening ratio updated to 0.9, and this ration 
+is consistently used throughout the `pybloom` module..
+Choosing r around 0.8 - 0.9 will result in better average space usage for wide
+range of growth, therefore the default value of model is set to 
+LARGE_SET_GROWTH. This is a module that includes a Bloom Filter data structure 
+along with an implementation of Scalable Bloom Filters as discussed in:
+
+```
+P. Almeida, C.Baquero, N. Preguiça, D. Hutchison, Scalable Bloom Filters, (GLOBECOM 2007), IEEE, 2007.
+```
+Bloom filters are great if you understand what amount of bits you need to set
+aside early to store your entire set. Scalable Bloom Filters allow your bloom
+filter bits to grow as a function of false positive probability and size.
+
+A filter is "full" when at capacity: `M * ((ln 2 ^ 2) / abs(ln p))`, where M
+is the number of bits and p is the false positive probability. When capacity
+is reached a new filter is then created exponentially larger than the last
+with a tighter probability of false positives and a larger number of hash
+functions.
+
+```python
+    >>> import pybloom_live
+    >>> f = pybloom_live.BloomFilter(capacity=1000, error_rate=0.001)
+    >>> [f.add(x) for x in range(10)]
+    [False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False]
+    >>> all([(x in f) for x in range(10)])
+    True
+    >>> 10 in f
+    False
+    >>> 5 in f
+    True
+    >>> f = pybloom_live.BloomFilter(capacity=1000, error_rate=0.001)
+    >>> for i in xrange(0, f.capacity):
+    ...     _ = f.add(i)
+    >>> (1.0 - (len(f) / float(f.capacity))) <= f.error_rate + 2e-18
+    True
+
+    >>> sbf = pybloom_live.ScalableBloomFilter(mode=pybloom_live.ScalableBloomFilter.SMALL_SET_GROWTH)
+    >>> count = 10000
+    >>> for i in range(0, count):
+            _ = sbf.add(i)
+
+    >>> (1.0 - (len(sbf) / float(count))) <= sbf.error_rate + 2e-18
+    True
+    # len(sbf) may not equal the entire input length. 0.01% error is well
+    # below the default 0.1% error threshold. As the capacity goes up, the
+    # error will approach 0.1%.
+```
+#Development
+We follow this [git branching model](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/), 
+please have a look at it.
+
+
+#Installation instructions
+If you are installing from an internet-connected computer (or virtual 
+install), you can use the pip python package manager to download and install 
+this package. Simply type `pip install pybloom-live` from a DOS command 
+prompt (`cmd.exe`) or a linux shell (e.g. `bash` or `dash` on MacOS X as well 
+as linux OSes including debian, slackware, redhat, enoch and arch).
+
+If using Windows and you are installing onto an air-gapped computer or want 
+the most up-to-date version from this repository, you can do the following:
+
+1. Download the zip file by clicking on the green "Clone or Download" 
+link followed by "Download Zip."
+
+2. Extract all the contents of the the zip folder.
+
+3. Open command prompt (``cmd.exe``) to the extracted folder.
+    a. Find the extracted folder in Windows Explorer.
+    b. From the parent folder level Shift+RightClick on the folder.
+    c. Select "Open command window here".
+
+4. Type `pip install .`.
+
+Similar steps are possible under linux and MacOS X.
+
+#Installation verification
+Type `pip show pybloom-live` from a command prompt. Version should be 
+2.2.0 as of 2016-12-11.
