-kiwi (a framework for developing graphical applications in Python)
+Kiwi is a framework and a set of enhanced PyGTK widgets designed to
+make building programs with graphical interfaces both easy to write
+and easy to maintain. Kiwi is pure Python and released under the LGPL.
-kiwi is a framework composed of a set of modules, which eases Python
-development using PyGTK. Kiwi makes graphical applications *much*
-faster to code, with good architecture and more Python-like bindings;
-it also offers extended widgets based upon the original PyGTK widgets.
+Fully object-oriented, and roughly Smalltalk's MVC, Kiwi provides a
+simple, practical way to build forms, windows and widgets that
+transparently access and display your object data. Kiwi is inspired
+by Allen Holub's Visual Proxy.
-kiwi depends on PyGTK, which is available from SlackBuilds.org.
+NOTE: Additional functionality is provided, if pygobject, zope.interface,
+ and/or SQLObject are installed.
