+The backports namespace is a namespace reserved for features backported from
+the Python standard library to older versions of Python 2.
+
+Packages that exist in the backports namespace in Fedora should not provide
+their own backports/__init__.py, but instead require this package.
+
+Backports to earlier versions of Python 3, if they exist, do not need this
+package because of changes made in Python 3.3 in PEP 420
+(http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0420/).
