+SUMMARY="Scientific algorithms library for Python"
+DESCRIPTION="SciPy is an open source library of scientific tools for Python. \
+SciPy supplements the popular numpy module, gathering a variety of high level \
+science and engineering modules together as a single package. SciPy includes \
+modules for graphics and plotting, optimization, integration, special \
+functions, signal and image processing, genetic algorithms, ODE solvers, and \
+others."
