Description: Python UPnP framework
 Coherence is a framework written in Python enabling your application
 to participate in digital living networks, at the moment primarily the
 UPnP universe.
 .
 Its objective and demand is to relieve your application from all the
 membership/the UPnP related tasks as much as possible.
 .
 The core of Coherence provides a (hopefully complete) implementation of
  * a SSDP server,
  * a MSEARCH client,
  * server and client for HTTP/SOAP requests, and
  * server and client for Event Subscription and Notification (GENA)


Note that:
- Coherence is needed for Elisa (ITP #377777) UPnP support,
- I've checked the source tree thoroughly. The only missing explicit
legal mention (header) is for tests/rpc_client.py (I guess MIT too).
And that's a tiny point since it's a trivial code that is not
installed (so only present in the orig.tar.gz file)
- possible future conflict with other UPnP implementations (such as
GUPnP <http://gupnp.org/>) have to be investigated and anticipated,
- the packaging is nearly complete. I will inject it into pkg-utopia asap.
