+"""
+This module has classes for implementing the Publish/Subscribe design
+pattern.
-"""Renamer stub: provides a way to drop the wx prefix from wxPython objects."""
+It's a very flexible PS implementation: The message topics are tuples
+of any length, containing any objects (that can be used as hash keys).
+A subscriber's topic matches any message topic for which it's a
+sublist.
-from wx import _rename
-from wxPython.lib import pubsub
-_rename(globals(), pubsub.__dict__, modulename='lib.pubsub')
-del pubsub
-del _rename
+It also has many optimizations to favor time efficiency (ie., run-time
+speed). I did this because I use it to support extreme uses. For
+example, piping every wxWindows mouse event through to multiple
+listeners, and expecting the app to have no noticeable slowdown. This
+has made the code somewhat obfuscated, but I've done my best to
+document it.
+
+The Server and Message classes are the two that clients interact
+with..
+
+This module is compatible with Python 2.1.
