Pure Spinor String in General Background

Berkovits' pure spinor string (type II) will be discussed in a general superspace background. The derivation of the supergravity constraints from classical BRST invariance will carefully be reviewed and new aspects added. Then it will be sketched how to extract the supersymmetry transformations of the physical fields.
