+%description
+AMQP is the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol, an open standard protocol
+for message orientation, queuing, routing, reliability and security.
+
+One of the most popular implementations of AMQP is RabbitMQ.
+
+The aim of Kombu is to make messaging in Python as easy as possible by
+providing an idiomatic high-level interface for the AMQP protocol, and
+also provide proven and tested solutions to common messaging problems.
