+# BucketFS Utils Python
+
+This project provides a python library for the Exasol BucketFS system.
+
+Features:
+
+* [Uploading a GitHub release to a bucket](#uploading-github-release-to-bucket)
+
+## How to Use It
+
+Install the package from Github via `pip`:
+ 
+```
+pip install -e git://github.com/exasol/bucketfs-utils-python.git@{ tag name }#egg=exasol-bucketfs-utils-python
+```
+
+## Uploading GitHub Release to Bucket
+
+Example:
+
+```python
+from exasol_bucketfs_utils_python.github_release_file_bucketfs_uploader import GithubReleaseFileBucketFSUploader
+
+release_uploader = \
+    GithubReleaseFileBucketFSUploader(file_to_download_name="file",
+                                        github_user="user",
+                                        repository_name="repository",
+                                        release_name="latest",
+                                        path_inside_bucket="some/path/")
+release_uploader.upload("http://<host>:<port>/<bucket>/", "user", "password")
