The short description should not contain the package name, so:
  "python binding for libssh2 library."

It is usually a good idea to insert the original library's description,
so I suggest the following long description:

-----
 libssh2 is the thin library implementing client side of SSH2 protocol
 as defined by Internet Drafts SECSH-TRANS, SECSH-USERAUTH,
 SECSH-CONNECTION, SECSH-ARCH, SECSH-FILEXFER, SECSH-DHGEX,
 SECSH-NUMBERS, and SECSH-PUBLICKEY
 .
 This boils down to the regular terminal, scp and SFTP sessions; port
 forwarding; password, key-based and keyboard-interactive
 authentication.
 .
 This package contains the python bindings libssh2. It is a fork and
 rewrite of org.keyphrene.

Note that the two first paragraph are a pristine copy of libssh2
description... the I18N teams should appreciate ;)
