-### Errors
-
-Delta Chat core mostly uses [`anyhow`](https://docs.rs/anyhow/) errors.
-When using [`Context`](https://docs.rs/anyhow/latest/anyhow/trait.Context.html),
-capitalize it but do not add a full stop as the contexts will be separated by `:`.
-For example:
-```
-.with_context(|| format!("Unable to trash message {msg_id}"))
-```
-
-All errors should be handled in one of these ways:
- With `if let Err() =` (incl. logging them into `warn!()`/`err!()`).
- With `.log_err().ok()`.
- Bubbled up with `?`.
-
-`backtrace` feature is enabled for `anyhow` crate
-and `debug = 1` option is set in the test profile.
-This allows to run `RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo test`
-and get a backtrace with line numbers in resultified tests
-which return `anyhow::Result`.
-
-### Logging
-
-For logging, use `info!`, `warn!` and `error!` macros.
-Log messages should be capitalized and have a full stop in the end. For example:
-```
-info!(context, "Ignoring addition of {added_addr:?} to {chat_id}.");
-```
-
-Format anyhow errors with `{:#}` to print all the contexts like this:
-```
-error!(context, "Failed to set selfavatar timestamp: {err:#}.");
-```
-

 The test suite includes some tests that need online connectivity and a way to create test email accounts. To run these tests, talk to DeltaChat developers to get a token for the `testrun.org` service, or use a local instance of [`mailadm`](https://github.com/deltachat/docker-mailadm).

-Then, set the `CHATMAIL_DOMAIN` environment variable to your testing email server domain.
+Then, set the `DCC_NEW_TMP_EMAIL` environment variable to your mailadm token before running the tests.

 ```
-CHATMAIL_DOMAIN=chat.example.org npm run test
+DCC_NEW_TMP_EMAIL=https://testrun.org/new_email?t=yourtoken npm run test

 - As soon as we encrypt read receipts, sending a read receipt will be enough to tell a lot of people that you transitioned
 - AEAP will make the problem of inconsistent group state worse, both because it doesn't work if the message is unencrypted (even if the design allowed it, it would be problematic security-wise) and because some chat partners may have gotten the transition and some not. We should do something against this at some point in the future, like asking the user whether they want to add/remove the members to restore consistent group state.

 #### Upsides:
 - With this approach, it's easier to switch to a model where the info about the transition is encoded in the PGP key. Since the key is gossiped, the information about the transition will spread virally.
 - (Also, less important: Slightly faster transition: If you send a message to e.g. "Delta Chat Dev", all members of the "sub-group" "delta android" will know of your transition.)
- It's easier to implement (if too many problems turn up, we can still switch to another approach and didn't waste that much development time.)

+DeltaChat Python bindings
+=========================

 This package provides `Python bindings`_ to the `deltachat-core library`_
 which implements IMAP/SMTP/MIME/OpenPGP e-mail standards and offers
@@ -8,3 +8,157 @@ a low-level Chat/Contact/Message API to user interfaces and bots.

 .. _`deltachat-core library`: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust
 .. _`Python bindings`: https://py.delta.chat/
+
+Installing pre-built packages (Linux-only)
+==========================================
+
+If you have a Linux system you may install the ``deltachat`` binary "wheel" packages
+without any "build-from-source" steps.
+Otherwise you need to `compile the Delta Chat bindings yourself`__.
+
+__ sourceinstall_
+
+We recommend to first create a fresh Python virtual environment
+and activate it in your shell::
+
+    python -m venv env
+    source env/bin/activate
+
+Afterwards, invoking ``python`` or ``pip install`` only
+modifies files in your ``env`` directory and leaves
+your system installation alone.
+
+For Linux we build wheels for all releases and push them to a python package
+index. To install the latest release::
+
+    pip install deltachat
+
+To verify it worked::
+
+    python -c "import deltachat"
+
+Running tests
+=============
+
+Recommended way to run tests is using `scripts/run-python-test.sh`
+script provided in the core repository.
+
+This script compiles the library in debug mode and runs the tests using `tox`_.
+By default it will run all "offline" tests and skip all functional
+end-to-end tests that require accounts on real e-mail servers.
+
+.. _`tox`: https://tox.wiki
+.. _livetests:
+
+Running "live" tests with temporary accounts
+--------------------------------------------
+
+If you want to run live functional tests you can set ``DCC_NEW_TMP_EMAIL`` to a URL that creates e-mail accounts.  Most developers use https://testrun.org URLs created and managed by `mailadm <https://mailadm.readthedocs.io/>`_.
+
+Please feel free to contact us through a github issue or by e-mail and we'll send you a URL that you can then use for functional tests like this::
+
+    export DCC_NEW_TMP_EMAIL=<URL you got from us>
+
+With this account-creation setting, pytest runs create ephemeral e-mail accounts on the http://testrun.org server.
+These accounts are removed automatically as they expire.
+After setting the variable, either rerun `scripts/run-python-test.sh`
+or run offline and online tests with `tox` directly::
+
+    tox -e py
+
+Each test run creates new accounts.
+
+Developing the bindings
+-----------------------
+
+If you want to develop or debug the bindings,
+you can create a testing development environment using `tox`::
+
+    export DCC_RS_DEV="$PWD"
+    export DCC_RS_TARGET=debug
+    tox -c python --devenv env -e py
+    . env/bin/activate
+
+Inside this environment the bindings are installed
+in editable mode (as if installed with `python -m pip install -e`)
+together with the testing dependencies like `pytest` and its plugins.
+
+You can then edit the source code in the development tree
+and quickly run `pytest` manually without waiting  for `tox`
+to recreating the virtual environment each time.
+
+.. _sourceinstall:
+
+Installing bindings from source
+===============================
+
+Install Rust and Cargo first.
+The easiest is probably to use `rustup <https://rustup.rs/>`_.
+
+Bootstrap Rust and Cargo by using rustup::
+
+   curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
+
+Then clone the deltachat-core-rust repo::
+
+   git clone https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust
+   cd deltachat-core-rust
+
+To install the Delta Chat Python bindings make sure you have Python3 installed.
+E.g. on Debian-based systems `apt install python3 python3-pip
+python3-venv` should give you a usable python installation.
+
+First, build the core library::
+
+   cargo build --release -p deltachat_ffi --features jsonrpc
+
+`jsonrpc` feature is required even if not used by the bindings
+because `deltachat.h` includes JSON-RPC functions unconditionally.
+
+Create the virtual environment and activate it:
+
+   python -m venv env
+   source env/bin/activate
+
+Build and install the bindings:
+
+   export DCC_RS_DEV="$PWD"
+   export DCC_RS_TARGET=release
+   python -m pip install ./python
+
+`DCC_RS_DEV` environment variable specifies the location of
+the core development tree. If this variable is not set,
+`libdeltachat` library and `deltachat.h` header are expected
+to be installed system-wide.
+
+When `DCC_RS_DEV` is set, `DCC_RS_TARGET` specifies
+the build profile name to look up the artifacts
+in the target directory.
+In this case setting it can be skipped because
+`DCC_RS_TARGET=release` is the default.
+
+Building manylinux based wheels
+===============================
+
+Building portable manylinux wheels which come with libdeltachat.so
+can be done with Docker_ or Podman_.
+
+.. _Docker: https://www.docker.com/
+.. _Podman: https://podman.io/
+
+If you want to build your own wheels, build container image first::
+
+   $ cd deltachat-core-rust # cd to deltachat-core-rust working tree
+   $ docker build -t deltachat/coredeps scripts/coredeps
+
+This will use the ``scripts/coredeps/Dockerfile`` to build
+container image called ``deltachat/coredeps``.  You can afterwards
+find it with::
+
+   $ docker images
+
+This docker image can be used to run tests and build Python wheels for all interpreters::
+
+    $ docker run -e DCC_NEW_TMP_EMAIL \
+       --rm -it -v $(pwd):/mnt -w /mnt \
+       deltachat/coredeps scripts/run_all.sh
