+# MonkeyTest
+
+MonkeyTest -- a disk benchmark to test your hard drive read-write speed in Python
+
+A simplistic script to show that such system programming
+tasks are possible and convenient to be solved in Python
+
+I haven't done any command-line arguments parsing, so
+you should configure it using the constants at top of the script.
+
+The file is being created, then written with random data, randomly read
+and deleted, so the script doesn't waste your drive
+
+(!) Be sure, that the file you point to is not smthng
+ you need, cause it'll be overwritten during test
+
+Runs on both Python3 and 2, despite that I prefer 3.
+Has been tested on 3.5 and 2.7 under ArchLinux
+
+
+If You want to contribute, be sure to see our TODO list first
