+The h5py package provides both a high- and low-level interface to the
+HDF5 library from Python. The low-level interface is
+intended to be a complete wrapping of the HDF5 1.6 API, while the high-
+level component supports Python-style object-oriented access to HDF5 files,
+datasets and groups.
+
+The goal of this package is not to provide yet another scientific data
+model. It is an attempt to create as straightforward a binding as possible
+to the existing HDF5 API and abstractions, so that Python programs can
+easily deal with HDF5 files and exchange data with other HDF5-aware
+applications.
