+## A Note About Generics
+
+As Django uses a lot of the more dynamic features of Python (i.e. metaobjects), statically typing it requires heavy use of generics. Unfortunately, the syntax for generics is also valid python syntax. For instance, the statement `class SomeClass(SuperType[int])` implicitly translates to `class SomeClass(SuperType.__class_getitem__(int))`. If `SuperType` doesn't define the `__class_getitem__` method, this causes a runtime error, even if the code typechecks.
+
+When adding a new generic class, or changing an existing class to use generics, run a quick test to see if it causes a runtime error. If it does, please add the new generic class to the `_need_generic` list in the [django_stubs_ext monkeypatch function](https://github.com/typeddjango/django-stubs/tree/master/django_stubs_ext/django_stubs_ext/monkeypatch.py)

+# Extensions and monkey-patching for django-stubs
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/typeddjango/django-stubs.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/typeddjango/django-stubs)
+[![Checked with mypy](http://www.mypy-lang.org/static/mypy_badge.svg)](http://mypy-lang.org/)
+[![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/mypy-django/Lobby.svg)](https://gitter.im/mypy-django/Lobby)
+
+
+This package contains extensions and monkey-patching functions for the [django-stubs](https://github.com/typeddjango/django-stubs) package. Certain features of django-stubs (i.e. generic django classes that don't define the `__class_getitem__` method) require runtime monkey-patching, which can't be done with type stubs. These extensions were split into a separate package so library consumers don't need `mypy` as a runtime dependency ([#526](https://github.com/typeddjango/django-stubs/pull/526#pullrequestreview-525798031)).
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install django-stubs-ext
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+In your Django application, use the following code:
+
+```py
+import django_stubs_ext
+
+django_stubs_ext.monkeypath()
+```
+
+This only needs to be called once, so the call to `monkeypatch` should be placed in your top-level urlconf.
+
+## Version compatibility
+
+Since django-stubs supports multiple Django versions, this package takes care to only monkey-patch the features needed by your django version, and decides which features to patch at runtime. This is completely safe, as (currently) we only add a `__class_getitem__` method that does nothing:
+
+```py
+@classmethod
+def __class_getitem__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
+    return cls
+```
+
+## To get help
+
+For help with django-stubs, please view the main repository at <https://github.com/typeddjango/django-stubs>
+
+We have a Gitter chat here: <https://gitter.im/mypy-django/Lobby>
+If you think you have a more generic typing issue, please refer to <https://github.com/python/mypy> and their Gitter.
+
