+meta-python-dunfellplus
+================================
+
+Introduction
+-------------------------
+
+This layer is intended to be an extension to the meta-python dunfell branch.
+This is because dunfell is an LTS version and more projects, with various
+python modules requirements will levitate more on this version. This layer will
+provide additional modules, additional versions or various other functionality
+backported from meta-python master.
+
+The aim of this is to minimise duplication on python recipes backporting on
+other layers. For example, meta-homeassistant.
