Description: Virtual Touchpad
        ================
        
        This application allows you to use a mobile phone or tablet as a touchpad for
        your computer.
        
        No software needs to be installed on the device.
        
        
        How does it work?
        -----------------
        
        A simple HTTP server is started on the computer, and the device connects by
        simply opening a URL in a browser.
        
        To manually start the HTTP server, run the following command:
        
            python -m virtualtouchpad
        
        This will start an HTTP server. It will print the line
        
            Starting server http://<computer name>:<port>/...
        
        Open this URL on your device to start controlling your computer.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Install this application by running the following command as root:
        
            pip install virtual-touchpad
        
        If you want to have access to pre-release versions, you can clone the *git*
        repository available from the linked *home page* below. Install by running this
        command as root:
        
            cd $VIRTUAL_TOUCHPAD_REPO
            python setup.py install
        
        
        Installation issues
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        When installing, the dependencies for this application are also downloaded. Some
        of the dependencies are native libraries and must be compiled before they can be
        used.
        
        There is no standard way of providing any dependencies for the native libraries
        through this website, so they must thus be present on your computer before you
        run the installation, as do *Python* development headers files.
        
        The easies way to install the headers is via the packager manager provided by
        your operating system. The names of the packages required depend on your
        specific operating system.
