+Python wrapper for the GnuTLS library
+
+This package provides a high level object oriented wrapper around
+libgnutls, as well as low level bindings to the GnuTLS types and
+functions via ctypes. The high level wrapper hides the details of
+accessing the GnuTLS library via ctypes behind a set of classes that
+encapsulate GnuTLS sessions, certificates and credentials and expose
+them to python applications using a simple API.
+
+The package also includes a Twisted interface that has seamless
+intergration with Twisted, providing connectTLS and listenTLS methods
+on the Twisted reactor once imported (the methods are automatically
+attached to the reactor by simply importing the GnuTLS Twisted
+interface module).
