 %description
-python-ldap provides an LDAP client API for Python in the spirit of
-RFC1823. It includes a Python module called _ldapmodule that wraps an
-LDAP C library, an object-oriented API for X.500 directories. See
-python-ldap pages on http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/
+python-ldap provides an object-oriented API to access LDAP directory
+servers from Python programs.  Mainly it wraps the OpenLDAP 2.x libs
+for that purpose.  Additionally the package contains modules for other
+LDAP-related stuff (e.g. processing LDIF, LDAPURLs, LDAPv3 schema, etc.).
