+Key API Features
+================
+
+ * Event-driven API
+ * SSL/TLS secured communication
+ * SASL authentication
+ * Automatic reconnect and failover
+ * Seamless conversion between AMQP and Python data types
+ * AMQP 1.0
+
+Basic API Concepts
+==================
+
+The Qpid Python client API and library allows applications to send and receive
AMQP messages. See :ref:`overview`
+for a more detailed explanation.
+
+Containers
+----------
+
+Messages are transferred between connected peers (or nodes) using **senders**
and **receivers**. Each sender
+or receiver is established over a **connection**. Each connection is
established between two unique **containers**,
+the entry point for the API. The container class
:class:`proton.reactor.Container` is found in the ``proton.reactor``
+module.
+
+Senders
+-------
+
+The peer that sends messages uses a **sender** to send messages, which
includes the target queue or topic which is
+to receive the messages. The sender may be found at :class:`proton.Sender`.
Note that senders are most commonly
+obtained by using the convenience method
:meth:`proton.reactor.Container.create_sender`.
+
+Receivers
+---------
+
+The peer that receives messages uses a **receiver** to receive messages, and
includes a source queue or topic from
+which to receive messages. The receiver may be found at
:class:`proton.Receiver`. Note that senders are most commonly
+obtained by using the convenience method
:meth:`proton.reactor.Container.create_receiver`.
+
+Message Delivery
+----------------
+
+The process of sending a message is known as **delevery**. Each sent message
has a delivry object which tracks the
+status of the message as it is sent from the sender to the receiver. This also
includes actions such as settling the
Review comment:
'settling' is a term of art within the AMQP spec referring to the act of
forgetting about a delivery when you no longer need to remember it because we
no longer care about it receipt status and no longer need to retry the
delivery. It is separate from the concepts of terminal delivery state - Accept,
Reject, Release etc.
