  Description     : IPython vestigial utilities
 Contains some utilities shared by the IPython and Jupyter projects.
 .
 No new code should be written against those utilities.

Although that code is (as made clear in the long description) not
supposed to be used in new code, there is still code using it, and
it's not going away soon, so it makes sense to package it (I asked
upstream!).

It is for example a dependency of 'traitlets', which is a dependency
of the whole IPython/Jupyter software stack.

Thanks,
