 %description
+Psyco is a kind of just-in-time (JIT) compiler, a little bit like what exists
+for other languages, that emit machine code on the fly instead of interpreting
+your Python program step by step. The difference with the traditional approach
+to JIT compilers is that Psyco writes several version of the same blocks
+(a block is a bit of a function), which are optimized by being specialized to
+some kinds of variables (a "kind" can mean a type, but it is more general). The
+result is that your unmodified Python programs run faster.
