+%description
+
+Pip is a replacement for `easy_install
+<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall>`_.  It uses mostly the
+same techniques for finding packages, so packages that were made
+easy_installable should be pip-installable as well.
+
+pip is meant to improve on easy_install.bulletin boards, etc.).
