+long_desc="
+ PyYAML is a YAML parser and emitter for the Python programming language.
+
+ PyYAML features:
+
+ - a complete YAML 1.1 parser. In particular, PyYAML can parse all examples
+   from the specification. The parsing algorithm is simple enough to be a
+   reference for YAML parser implementors.
+ - Unicode support including UTF-8/UTF-16 input/output and escape sequences.
+ - low-level event-based parser and emitter API (like SAX).
+ - high-level API for serializing and deserializing native Python objects (like
+   DOM or pickle).
+ - support for all types from the YAML types repository. A simple extension API
+   is provided.
+ - both pure-Python and fast LibYAML-based parsers and emitters.
+ - relatively sensible error messages."
