+description = """PyTables is a package for managing hierarchical datasets and designed to efficiently and easily cope
+ with extremely large amounts of data. PyTables is built on top of the HDF5 library, using the Python language and the
+ NumPy package. It features an object-oriented interface that, combined with C extensions for the performance-critical
+ parts of the code (generated using Cython), makes it a fast, yet extremely easy to use tool for interactively browse,
+ process and search very large amounts of data. One important feature of PyTables is that it optimizes memory and disk
+ resources so that data takes much less space (specially if on-flight compression is used) than other solutions such as
+ relational or object oriented databases."""
