-`protovalidate-python` is the Python implementation of [`protovalidate`](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate),
-designed to validate Protobuf messages at runtime based on user-defined validation constraints. Powered by Google's
-Common Expression Language ([CEL](https://github.com/google/cel-spec)), it provides a flexible and efficient foundation
-for defining and evaluating custom validation rules. The primary goal of `protovalidate` is to help developers ensure
-data consistency and integrity across the network without requiring generated code.
-
-## The `protovalidate` project
+[Protovalidate][protovalidate] provides standard annotations to validate common constraints on messages and fields, as well as the ability to use [CEL][cel] to write custom constraints. It's the next generation of [protoc-gen-validate][protoc-gen-validate], the only widely used validation library for Protobuf.
 
-Head over to the core [`protovalidate`](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate/) repository for:
+With Protovalidate, you can annotate your Protobuf messages with both standard and custom validation rules:
 
-- [The API definition](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate/tree/main/proto/protovalidate/buf/validate/validate.proto):
-  used to describe validation constraints
-- [Documentation](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate/tree/main/docs): how to apply `protovalidate` effectively
-- [Migration tooling](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate/tree/main/docs/migrate.md): incrementally migrate
-  from `protoc-gen-validate`
-- [Conformance testing utilities](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate/tree/main/docs/conformance.md): for
-  acceptance testing of `protovalidate` implementations
+```protobuf
+syntax = "proto3";
 
-Other `protovalidate` runtime implementations include:
+package banking.v1;
 
-- Go: [`protovalidate-go`](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate-go)
-- C++: [`protovalidate-cc`](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate-cc)
-- Java: [`protovalidate-java`](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate-java)
+import "buf/validate/validate.proto";

+message MoneyTransfer {
+  string to_account_id = 1 [
+    // Standard rule: `to_account_id` must be a UUID
+    (buf.validate.field).string.uuid = true
+  ];
 
-- TypeScript: `protovalidate-ts`
+  string from_account_id = 2 [
+    // Standard rule: `from_account_id` must be a UUID
+    (buf.validate.field).string.uuid = true
+  ];
 
-## Installation
+  // Custom rule: `to_account_id` and `from_account_id` can't be the same.
+  option (buf.validate.message).cel = {
+    id: "to_account_id.not.from_account_id"
+    message: "to_account_id and from_account_id should not be the same value"
+    expression: "this.to_account_id != this.from_account_id"
+  };
+}
+```
 
-To install the package, use pip:
+Once you've added `protovalidate-python` to your project, validation is idiomatic Python:
 
-```shell
-pip install protovalidate
+```python
+try:
+    protovalidate.validate(message)
+except protovalidate.ValidationError as e:
+    # Handle failure.
 ```
 
-Make sure you have the latest version of `protovalidate-python` by checking the
-project's [PyPI page](https://pypi.org/project/protovalidate/).
+## Installation
 
-## Usage
+> [!TIP]
+> The easiest way to get started with Protovalidate for RPC APIs are the how-to's in Buf's documentation. There's one available for [Python and gRPC][grpc-python].
 
-### Implementing validation constraints
+To install the package, use `pip`:
 
-Validation constraints are defined directly within `.proto` files. Documentation for adding constraints can be found in
-the `protovalidate` project [README](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate) and
-its [comprehensive docs](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate/tree/main/docs).
+```shell
+pip install protovalidate
+```
 
-```protobuf
-syntax = "proto3";
+## Documentation
 
-package my.package;
+Comprehensive documentation for Protovalidate is available in [Buf's documentation library][protovalidate]. 
 
-import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto";
-import "buf/validate/validate.proto";
+Highlights for Python developers include:
 
-message Transaction {
-  uint64 id = 1 [(buf.validate.field).uint64.gt = 999];
-  google.protobuf.Timestamp purchase_date = 2;
-  google.protobuf.Timestamp delivery_date = 3;
+* The [developer quickstart][quickstart]
+* A comprehensive RPC how-to for [Python and gRPC][grpc-python]
+* A [migration guide for protoc-gen-validate][migration-guide] users
 
-  string price = 4 [(buf.validate.field).cel = {
-    id: "transaction.price",
-    message: "price must be positive and include a valid currency symbol ($ or £)",
-    expression: "(this.startsWith('$') || this.startsWith('£')) && double(this.substring(1)) > 0"
-  }];
+## Additional Languages and Repositories
 
-  option (buf.validate.message).cel = {
-    id: "transaction.delivery_date",
-    message: "delivery date must be after purchase date",
-    expression: "this.delivery_date > this.purchase_date"
-  };
-}

-### Generating Code with `buf`
-
-When using the runtime library after installing it with `pip`, it's necessary to generate the Python code for the core `buf.protovalidate` Protobuf package. `buf` provides an efficient method for this:
-
-1. **Initialize a New Configuration File**:
-   ```shell
-   buf config init
-   ```
-   This initializes the `buf.yaml` configuration file at the root of the Protobuf source files.
-
-2. **Module Configuration and Dependencies**:
-   ```yaml
-   # buf.yaml
-   version: v2
-   deps:
-     - buf.build/bufbuild/protovalidate
-   ```
-
-   Ensure your dependencies are up-to-date with:
-   ```shell
-   buf dep update
-   ```
-
-3. **Setup Code Generation**:
-   ```yaml
-   # buf.gen.yaml
-   version: v2
-   plugins:
-     - remote: buf.build/protocolbuffers/python
-       out: gen
-   ```
-
-4. **Generate Code**:
-   To generate the required Python code:
-   ```shell
-   buf generate --include-imports
-   ```
-
-5. **Specify import paths**:
-   Ensure that the generated code is importable by setting the `PYTHONPATH` environment variable:
-   ```shell
-   export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:gen
-   ```
-
-If your goal is to generate code specifically for the `buf.protovalidate` Protobuf package, run:
-```shell
-buf generate buf.build/bufbuild/protovalidate
-```

+- [`protovalidate-java`][pv-java] (Java)
+- [`protovalidate-cc`][pv-cc] (C++)
+- `protovalidate-ts` (TypeScript, coming soon!)
 
-> **Note:** For users familiar with `protoc`, while it's an alternative to `buf`, it is recommended to use tooling or frameworks like Bazel for direct code generation, as it provides an encapsulated environment for such tasks.
+Additionally, [protovalidate's core repository](https://github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate) provides:
