+Pronounced as the French "nouveau", or "noo-voh", Nevow is a web application
+construction kit written in Python. It is designed to allow the programmer to
+express as much of the view logic as desired in Python, and includes a pure
+Python XML expression syntax named stan to facilitate this. However it also
+provides rich support for designer-edited templates, using a very small XML
+attribute language to provide bi-directional template manipulation capability.
+
+Nevow also includes formless, a declarative syntax for specifying the types of
+method parameters and exposing these methods to the web. Forms can be rendered
+automatically, and form posts will be validated and input coerced, rendering
+error pages if appropriate. Once a form post has validated successfully, the
+method will be called with the coerced values.
+
+This requires pysetuptools, python-twisted, and zope.interface.
