-%description
-lxml provides a Python binding to the libxslt and libxml2 libraries.  It
-follows the ElementTree API as much as possible in order to provide a more
-Pythonic interface to libxml2 and libxslt than the default bindings.  In
-particular, lxml deals with Python Unicode strings rather than encoded UTF-8
-and handles memory management automatically, unlike the default bindings.
