+
+## Python Scripts
+
+We are in the process of converting our Shell Scripts to Python. Instructions for running specific scripts are available in the [Adafruit Learning System](https://learn.adafruit.com/). Here are the general setup instructions.
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- Python 3
+- [Adafruit_Python_Shell](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_Shell)
+- [Click](https://pypi.org/project/click/)
+
+### Prepare your system
+
+To install the dependencies for the python scripts, run the following commands:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install python3-pip click
+sudo pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
+sudo pip3 install --upgrade adafruit-python-shell
+```
+Then to run the python script, type the following replacing "scriptname.py" with the actual script name:
+
+```bash
+sudo python3 scriptname.py
+```
+
+## Old Shell Scripts
+
+If you were directed here from an external site and the script you were looking for appears to be missing, you can either use the newer python script or check the [converted_shell_scripts](https://github.com/adafruit/Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts/tree/main/converted_shell_scripts) folder to use the old shell scripts.
