+python-gflags (Google's Python argument parsing library)
+
+This project is the python equivalent of gflags, a commandline
+flag implementation for C++ originally written by Google. It is
+intended to be used in situations where a project wants to mimic the
+command-line flag handling of a C++ app that uses gflags, or for a
+Python app that, via swig or some other means, is linked with a C++
+app that uses gflags.
