The "description" in the EasyConfig (.eb) file can be an arbitrary multiline
string, with as much detail as you like. Here's the description from the
"rootpy" module, for example:
description = """The rootpy project is a community-driven initiative aiming to
provide a more pythonic interface with ROOT on top of the existing
PyROOT bindings. Given Python's reflective and dynamic nature, rootpy
also aims to improve ROOT design flaws and supplement existing ROOT
functionality. The scientific Python community also offers a multitude
of powerful packages such as SciPy, NumPy, matplotlib, scikit-learn,
and PyTables, but a suitable interface between them and ROOT has been
lacking. rootpy provides the interfaces and conversion mechanisms
required to liberate your data and to take advantage of these
alternatives if needed."""
The "homepage" string is supposed to just be a URL, but I suppose it could
be a list of URLs (I don't know whether there's an |eb| mode or Web
interfaces that turn them into active hyperlinks).
