-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.
