  Description     : Provides a Python abstraction for file descriptor passing via sockets

 fdsend is yet another file descriptor passing abstraction, specifically for
 Python. This package offers a few conveniences not commonly found together in
 other abstractions: sending multiple files at once, sending arbitrary data,
 and working with both files and file descriptors.

The package was not downloaded from
http://pilcrow.madison.wi.us/sw/fdsend-0.1.tar.gz, because the URL was no
longer available.  Instead, the source was extracted and repackaged from
update-manager's bazaar repository (revision 457):

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/update-manager/main

The current packaging can be found on
