+    (description
+     "This package provides a Python library intended for use in automated
+tests.  One difficulty when testing software is that the code under test might
+need to read or write to files in the local file system.  If the file system
+is not set up in just the right way, it might cause a spurious error during
+the test.  The pyfakefs library provides a solution to problems like this by
+mocking file system interactions.  In other words, it arranges for the code
+under test to interact with a fake file system instead of the real file
+system.  The code under test requires no modification to work with pyfakefs.")
