 from the `compiler` module (for python <= 2.4) pr the `_ast` module
 (for python >= 2.5).
 
-It extends bare node classes with some additional methods and
-attributes. Instance attributes are added by a builder object, which
-can generate extended ast (let's call them astng ;) by visiting either
-an existent ast tree or by inspecting living object. Methods are added
-by monkey patching ast classes. Finally some support for static
-inference is provided.
+It rebuilds the tree generated by the compiler.ast [1] module or by
+the builtin _ast module by recursively walking down the AST and
+building an extended ast (let's call it astng ;). The new node classes
+have additional methods and attributes for different usages.
+They include some support for static inference and local name scopes.
+Furthermore, astng builds partial trees by inspecting living objects.
 
 Main modules are:
 
-* `nodes` and `scoped_nodes` for more information about methods and
-  attributes added to different node classes
+* `bases`, `node_classses` and `scoped_nodes` contain the classes for the
+  different type of nodes of the tree.
 
 * the `manager` contains a high level object to get astng trees from
   source files and living objects. It maintains a cache of previously
