+%description
+Python binding for the YARA pattern matching tool.
+YARA is a tool aimed at (but not limited to) helping malware researchers to
+identify and classify malware samples. With YARA you can create descriptions
+of malware families (or whatever you want to describe) based on textual or
+binary patterns. Each description, a.k.a rule, consists of a set of strings
+and a Boolean expression which determine its logic.
