-This document describes the source code for the Eclipse Paho MQTT
-Python client library, which implements versions 5.0, 3.1.1, and 3.1
-of the MQTT protocol.
-
-This code provides a client class which enable applications to
-connect to an MQTT broker to publish messages, and to subscribe to
-topics and receive published messages. It also provides some helper
-functions to make publishing one off messages to an MQTT server very
-straightforward.
-
-It supports Python 2.7.9+ or 3.6+.
-
-The MQTT protocol is a machine-to-machine (M2M)/"Internet of
-Things" connectivity protocol. Designed as an extremely lightweight
-publish/subscribe messaging transport, it is useful for connections
-with remote locations where a small code footprint is required and/or
-network bandwidth is at a premium.
-
-Paho is an Eclipse Foundation project.

-# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
-# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
-# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
-# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
-# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
-# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
