-The C<Sys::Guestfs> module provides a Perl XS binding to the
-libguestfs API for examining and modifying virtual machine
-disk images.
+The guestfs module provides a Python binding to the libguestfs API
+for examining and modifying virtual machine disk images.
 
 Amongst the things this is good for: making batch configuration
 changes to guests, getting disk used/free statistics (see also:
@@ -1830,155 +5366,860 @@ Libguestfs provides ways to enumerate guest storage (eg. partitions,
 LVs, what filesystem is in each LV, etc.).  It can also run commands
 in the context of the guest.  Also you can access filesystems over FTP.
 
-=head1 ERRORS
+Errors which happen while using the API are turned into Python
+RuntimeError exceptions.
+
+To create a guestfs handle you usually have to perform the following
+sequence of calls:
+
+# Create the handle, call add_drive at least once, and possibly
+# several times if the guest has multiple block devices:
+g = guestfs.GuestFS ()
+g.add_drive (\"guest.img\")
+
+# Launch the qemu subprocess and wait for it to become ready:
+g.launch ()
+g.wait_ready ()
+
+# Now you can issue commands, for example:
+logvols = g.lvs ()
