 %description
-Instantly make your loops show a smart progress meter - just wrap any
-iterable with "tqdm(iterable)", and you're done!
+tqdm lets you output a progress meter from within loops by wrapping
+any iterable with "tqdm(iterable)".
+tqdm's overhead is one order of magnitude less than python-progressbar
+and does not require ncurses.
