+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.

Review comment:
The one object with less detail in the walkthrough here is Connection.
Connections tend to be a focus of user concern, because that's where you do
auth and TLS, and it's where things go wrong first.
