+%description
+xesam-tools provides Python packages to interface with Xesam
+compliant services as well as a command line tool to use directly.
+
+It also features a framework for easily implementing xesam compliant
+servers via the xesam.server package. There are two examples bundled
+with this distribution. Namely demo/xesam-yahoo-service and
+demo/xesam-dummy-service. Both include a small header describing
+their usage.
+
+The implementation uses gobject and the Python dbus bindings for the gobject
+mainloop. There's no gui, only a command line application (xesam-tool).
