+    shortDescription: >-
+      Python library that provides XPath 1.0/2.0 parsers and selectors for
+      ElementTree and lxml
+    longDescription: >+
+      This is a library for Python 2.7/3.5+ that provides XPath 1.0 and 2.0
+      selectors for Python's ElementTree XML data structures, both for the
+      standard ElementTree library and for the lxml.etree library. 
+
+
+      For [lxml.etree](http://lxml.de/) this package can be useful for providing
+      XPath 2.0 selectors, because [lxml.etree](http://lxml.de/) already has
+      it's own implementation of XPath 1.0.
+
+
+      ## Installation and usage
+
+
+      You can install the package with _pip_ in a Python 2.7 or Python 3.5+
+      environment:
+
+          pip install elementpath
+
+    features:
+      - XPath 1.0 and XPath 2.0 implementations
