+  This provides a set of sparse matrix types for Python, with modules
+  which implement:
+  - Iterative methods for solving linear systems of equations
+  - A set of standard preconditioners
+  - An interface to a direct solver for sparse linear systems of equations
+  - The JDSYM eigensolver.
+  All of these modules are implemented as C extension modules based on
+  standard sparse and dense matrix libraries (UMFPACK/AMD, SuperLU,
+  BLAS/LAPACK) for maximum performance and robustness.
