+long_desc = '''
+Sphinx is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and beautiful
+documentation for Python projects, written by Georg Brandl.
+It was originally created to translate the new Python documentation,
+but has now been cleaned up in the hope that it will be useful to many
+other projects.
+
+Although it is still under constant development, the following features
+are already present, work fine and can be seen “in action” in the Python docs:
+
+* Output formats: HTML (including Windows HTML Help) and LaTeX,
+  for printable PDF versions
+* Extensive cross-references: semantic markup and automatic links
+  for functions, classes, glossary terms and similar pieces of information
+* Hierarchical structure: easy definition of a document tree, with automatic
+  links to siblings, parents and children
+* Automatic indices: general index as well as a module index
+* Code handling: automatic highlighting using the Pygments highlighter
+
+Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its strengths
+come from the power and straightforwardness of reStructuredText and its
+parsing and translating suite, the Docutils.
