+ (description
+ "@code{hissw} (hiss (like a snake) + @url{http://www.lmsal.com/solarsoft/,
+@acronym{SSW, SolarSoftware }}) is a (VERY) lightweight (~1 file) Python
+package that helps one to write IDL scripts (either inline or in a separate
+file) which use your installed SSW packages and return the results to local
+Python namespace. @code{hissw} uses @code{Jinja2} templates to generate SSW
+startup scripts and then runs IDL code using @code{subprocess}, i.e. the
+shell. Jinja2 syntax may be used to inject arguments from Python into IDL.
+The results are then saved to a file and then loaded back in using the amazing
+@code{readsav()} function in
+@url{https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-0.14.0/reference/generated/scipy.io.readsav.html,
+scipy.io}.")
