+SUMMARY="C++ functions matching the interface and behavior of python string methods"
+DESCRIPTION="Pystring is a collection of C++ functions which match the \
+interface and behavior of python's string class methods using std::string.
+Implemented in C++, it does not require or make use of a python interpreter. \
+It provides convenience and familiarity for common string operations not \
+included in the standard C++ library. It's also useful in environments where \
+both C++ and python are used.
+
+Overlapping functionality (such as index and slice/substr) of std::string is \
+included to match python interfaces.
+
+Note: Despite the infrequent updates, this repo is not dead/abandoned - just \
+stable!  We use it every day at Imageworks."
