 | Software version |release|.
 | Last updated |today|.
 
+The diffpy.structure package provides objects for storing atomic
+coordinates, displacement parameters and other crystal structure data.
+diffpy.structure supports import and export of structure data in several
+structure formats such as CIF, PDB, xyz.  It provides conversion
+between fractional and absolute Cartesian coordinates, functions for
+symmetry expansion from asymmetric unit and generation of symmetry
+constraints for atom positions and displacement parameters.  diffpy.structure
+includes definitions of all space groups in over 500 symmetry settings.
