-Description: Healpix tools package for Python
- Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization of a sphere
+Description: HEALPix representation of spherical data - Python interface
+ HEALPix is an acronym for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization
+ of a sphere. As suggested in the name, this pixelization produces a
+ subdivision of a spherical surface in which each pixel covers the same
+ surface area as every other pixel. It is commonly used to store all-sky
+ astronomical images, most famously maps of the cosmic microwave background.
+ This package provides a Python wrapper around the C++ implementation of
+ HEALPix.
