+Env: Environment Variables for Humans
+=====================================
+
+Mapping environment variables can be a bit of a pain.
+
+Now you can replace this boilerplate::
+
+    ZENDESK_URL = os.environ['ZENDESK_URL']
+    ZENDESK_USER = os.environ['ZENDESK_USER']
+    ZENDESK_PASS = os.environ['ZENDESK_PASS']
+    ZENDESK_VIEW = os.environ['ZENDESK_VIEW']
+
+With a simple call::
+
+    >>> import env
+
+::
+
+    >>> zendesk = env.prefix('zendesk_')
+    >>> zendesk
+    {'user': ..., 'pass': ..., 'url': ..., 'view': ...}
+
+Or have a bit more control::
+
+    >>> env.map(user='zendesk_user')
+    {'user': ...}
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Installation is easy with pip::
+
+    $ pip instal env
