+long_description = dnspython is a DNS toolkit for Python. It supports almost all
+    record types. It can be used for queries, zone transfers, and dynamic
+    updates.  It supports TSIG authenticated messages and EDNS0.
+
+    dnspython provides both high and low level access to DNS. The high
+    level classes perform queries for data of a given name, type, and
+    class, and return an answer set.  The low level classes allow
+    direct manipulation of DNS zones, messages, names, and records.
