+    (description
+     "VCR.py simplifies and speeds up tests that make HTTP requests.  The first
+time you run code that is inside a VCR.py context manager or decorated function,
+VCR.py records all HTTP interactions that take place through the libraries it
+supports and serializes and writes them to a flat file (in yaml format by
+default).  This flat file is called a cassette.  When the relevant piece of code
+is executed again, VCR.py will read the serialized requests and responses from
+the aforementioned cassette file, and intercept any HTTP requests that it
+recognizes from the original test run and return the responses that corresponded
+to those requests.  This means that the requests will not actually result in
+HTTP traffic, which confers several benefits including:
+@enumerate
+@item The ability to work offline
+@item Completely deterministic tests
+@item Increased test execution speed
+@end enumerate
+If the server you are testing against ever changes its API, all you need to do
+is delete your existing cassette files, and run your tests again.  VCR.py will
+detect the absence of a cassette file and once again record all HTTP
+interactions, which will update them to correspond to the new API.")
