+
+This module provides an implementation of the SAX 2 interface;
+information about the Java version of the interface can be found at
+http://www.megginson.com/SAX/.  The Python version of the interface is
+documented at <...>.
+
+This package contains the following modules:
+
+saxutils -- Implementation of the convenience functions normally used
+            to work with SAX.
+
+saxlib -- Implementation of the shared SAX 2 classes.
+
+drv_pyexpat -- Driver that allows use of the Expat parser with the classes
+               defined in saxlib.
