-## Python Web Interface
+## Fatcat Python Code
+
+This directory contains all python code for the fatcat project: an API client
+library (`fatcat_client`), a web interface (`fatcat_web`), and a series of
+utilities and worker processes (`fatcat_tools`).
+
+Most of this code is an "application" which is tightly interwoven and intended
+to be run from this directory, but the client library is distributed on
+pypi.org.
+
+## Client Library
+
+The auto-generated python client library for the fatcat API lives under
+`./fatcat_client`. It includes entity model objects and functions to call all
+API endpoints; see `./README_client.md` for details.
+
+To re-generate swagger-codegen python client library (requires docker installed
+locally):
+
+ ./codegen_python_client.sh
+
+## Web Interface
This project uses `pipenv` to manage dependencies, and assumes Python 3.5
(which pipenv may install if you are running a different local version). You
