Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
This program massages plain text to make it more likely to safely pass through LaTeX. It can be run from the command line, so you can do drive-by LaTeXing. Where it differs from other such scripts already on CTAN is that its internal routines can also be imported for use by other Python programs, for instance one that makes documents from text gathered on a web form.
