+backports.lzma - Provides support for LXMA and XZ compressed files via the
+XZ Utils C library.
+
+This code is a backport of the Python 3.3 standard library module lzma for
+use on older versions of Python where it was not included.
+
+There are some older Python libraries like PylibLZMA and PyLZMA but these
+use LZMA Utils (not XZ Utils, so they have no XZ support).
