+Backend Configuration
+---------------------
+
+As of version 0.3, ``scikit-neuralnetwork`` supports multiple neural network implementations called backends, each wrapped behind an identical standardized interface.  To configure a backend, you can do so by importing the corresponding module:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from sknn.backend import pylearn2
+
+As long as you call this before creating a neural network, this will register the PyLearn2 implementation as the one that's used.  Supported backends are currently ``pylearn2`` (default) and ``deepy`` (incomplete).
