-The obspy.core package contains common methods and classes

-classes and methods for reading seismograms.
+ObsPy is an open-source project dedicated to provide a Python framework for
+processing seismological data. It provides parsers for common file formats,
+clients to access data centers and seismological signal processing routines
+which allow the manipulation of seismological time series (see Beyreuther
+et al. 2010, Megies et al. 2011).
