-		This package is a collection of modules that are useful when
-		building python applications. Their purpose is to eliminate the
-		need to divert resources into implementing the small tasks that
-		every application needs to do in order to run successfully and
-		focus instead on the application logic itself.
-
-		The modules that the application package provides are:
-		1. process - UNIX process and signal management.
-		2. python - python utility classes and functions.
-		3. configuration - a simple interface to handle configuration files.
-		4. log - an extensible system logger for console and syslog.
-		5. debug - memory troubleshooting and execution timing.
-		6. system - interaction with the underlying operating system.
-		7. notification - an application wide notification system.
-		8. version - manage version numbers for applications and packages.
-		9. dependency - verify package dependencies at runtime.

-# Poor quality NIH ebuilds with multiple issues and lack of test suites.
-# They do not support Python 3 (even if somebody claimed otherwise,
-# completely ignoring all the errors during install phase), depend
-# on old Twisted packages and have no reverse dependencies in ::gentoo.
-# Removal in 30 days.  Bug #667354.
