+This is a python port of a ruby port of arc90's readability project
+
+http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/
+
+Given a html document, it pulls out the main body text and cleans it up.
+
+Ruby port by starrhorne and iterationlabs
+Python port by gfxmonk
+
+This port uses BeautifulSoup for the HTML parsing. That means it can be
+a little slow, but will work on Google App Engine (unlike libxml-based
+libraries)
+
+
+**note**: I don't currently have any plans for using or improving this
+library, and it's far from perfect (slow, and almost certainly buggy).
+So if you do something cool with it or have a better tool that does
+the same job, please let me know and I can link to it from here.
