       BitPacket is a Python module that provides a simple
-      objected-oriented representation of packets. The main purpose is
-      to provide an easy and extensible interface for building and
-      parsing packets.
+      objected-oriented representation for data structures. The main
+      purpose is to provide an easy and extensible interface for
+      building and parsing these structures (e.g. network packets).
 
       These are the main features of BitPacket:
 
-        * Packets can be packed/unpacked to/from bytes.
-        * Allows meta-fields, that is, fields that depend on other fields.
-        * A packet can have single bit fields.
+        * Byte-oriented with support for bit fields.
+
+        * Same BitPacket definition can be used for packing and
+          unpacking data.
+
+        * Comes with an extensible framework to customize BitPackets
+          representation (e.g. text tables, Gtk widgets).
