From 890215f62732dcf76de3ca9c7021acecc32da0d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Charalampos Stratakis Date: May 10 2017 13:26:35 +0000 Subject: Change description, to reflect that python2 is obsoleted by Python 3 as the default Python interpreter. Also reduce verbosity for the descriptions of subpackages.
