+      "Python makes loading code dynamically easy, allowing you to configure
+and extend your application by discovering and loading extensions (“plugins”)
+at runtime.  Many applications implement their own library for doing this,
+using __import__ or importlib.  stevedore avoids creating yet another extension
+mechanism by building on top of setuptools entry points.  The code for managing
+entry points tends to be repetitive, though, so stevedore provides manager
+classes for implementing common patterns for using dynamically loaded
+extensions.")
