Mainly I'd take "Python" out of the short description (it's already
in the package name, the debtags, and the archive section!) and
replace it with a clue to what ISO 8583 is.  Also, make the title of
the ISO standard more clearly a quote.  I'd suggest: 

  Description: library for ISO 8583 transactions
   This library provides a pure Python interface for electronic
   transactions using ISO 8583 ("Standard for Financial Transaction
   Card Originated Messages - Interchange message specifications").
   The vast majority of transactions made at Automated Teller
   Machines and the MasterCard and Visa networks use ISO 8583
   at some point.
