+Scripting language bindings
+---------------------------
 
+Ruby bindings are fully supported. To build, use the --enable-ruby option when 
+configuring:
+
+    # ./configure ... --enable-ruby
+    
+Since version 3.0, the Python bindings are unsupported. Recommended options:
+
+ 1. Become or recruit a new maintainer.
+ 2. Use Shapely (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Shapely) with Python versions 2.4 or greater.
+ 3. Simply call functions from libgeos_c via Python ctypes.
