-"""Code coverage measurement for Python
-
-Coverage.py measures code coverage, typically during test execution. It uses
-the code analysis tools and tracing hooks provided in the Python standard
-library to determine which lines are executable, and which have been executed.
-
-Coverage.py runs on CPython 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5, PyPy 2.4, and PyPy3 2.4.
-
-Documentation is on `Read the Docs <{docurl}>`_.  Code repository and issue
-tracker are on `Bitbucket <http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy>`_, with a
-mirrored repository on `GitHub <https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy>`_.
-
-New in 4.0 beta: ``--concurrency``, dropped support for older Pythons,
-setup.cfg support, plugins for other file variants, supported data API,
---skip-covered, HTML filtering, and 52 issues closed.
