+NZB is an XML-based file format for retrieving posts from NNTP (Usenet)
+servers. Since NZB is XML-based, it's relatively easy to build one-off
+parsers to parse NZB files. This project is an attempt to consolidate
+those many one-off NZB parsers into one simple interface.
+
+This package includes three implementations: one based on expat, another
+based on ElementTree, and a final implementation based on lxml. The order
+in which they were listed is in order of compatibility. The expat version
+should work on all versions of Python > 2.0, the lxml one will work on
+all versions > 2.5, and lxml will only work if you have lxml installed.
+
+This requires pysetuptools.
