+
+### 安装
+
+```bash
+pip install neroued-vectorizer
+```
+
+从源码构建（需要系统已安装 OpenCV 和 Potrace）：
+
+```bash
+pip install .
+```
+
+### Python 用法
+
+```python
+import neroued_vectorizer as nv
+
+# 从文件路径
+result = nv.vectorize("photo.png")
+
+# 从内存字节
+with open("photo.png", "rb") as f:
+    result = nv.vectorize(f.read())
+
+# 从 numpy 数组（BGR/BGRA/GRAY uint8）
+import numpy as np
+img = np.zeros((100, 100, 3), dtype=np.uint8)
+result = nv.vectorize(img)
+
+# 自定义配置
+config = nv.VectorizerConfig()
+config.num_colors = 8
+config.curve_fit_error = 1.0
+result = nv.vectorize("photo.png", config)
+
+# 使用结果
+print(result.svg_content)       # SVG 文档字符串
+print(result.width, result.height)
+print(result.num_shapes)
+print(result.palette)           # list[nv.Rgb]
+
+# 保存
+result.save("output.svg")
+```
+
+`VectorizerConfig` 的所有参数与 C++ 版本一致，参见下方参数表。

+## 版本管理与发布
+
+版本号由 git tag 自动派生（基于 [setuptools-scm](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools-scm)）：
+
+- `v0.2.0` tag → PyPI 版本 `0.2.0`
+- tag 后的开发提交 → `0.2.1.dev3+gabcdef`
+
+### 发布流程
+
+```bash
+# 1. 预发布验证（自动发到 TestPyPI）
+git tag v0.2.0rc1
+git push origin v0.2.0rc1
+
+# 2. 验证 TestPyPI 上的包
+pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ \
+            --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ \
+            neroued-vectorizer==0.2.0rc1
+
+# 3. 正式发布（自动发到 PyPI）
+git tag v0.2.0
+git push origin v0.2.0
+```
+
+### 支持平台
+
+| 平台 | 架构 | Python |
+|------|------|--------|
+| Linux | x86_64, aarch64 | 3.10 – 3.13 |
+| macOS | x86_64, arm64 | 3.10 – 3.13 |
+| Windows | x86_64 | 3.10 – 3.13 |
