 """
-Add the module docstring here.  This will be used by the setup.py script.
+Provides basic functionality for handling RSS/RDF feeds.  Depends on the Alias
+module for user-friendliness: instead of:
+
+rsstitles http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rss
+
+It'll make the alias:
+
+alias slashdot rsstitles http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rss
+
+And you'll be able to call the command like this:
+
+slashdot
+
+Commands include:
+  rsstitles
