+Fiona provides uncomplicated Python interfaces to functions in OGR, the best
+open source C/C++ library for reading and writing geographic vector data.
+
+Fiona is designed to be simple and dependable. It focuses on reading and
+writing data in standard Python IO style, and relies upon familiar Python types
+and protocols such as files, dictionaries, mappings, and iterators instead of
+classes specific to OGR. Fiona can read and write real-world data using
+multi-layered GIS formats and zipped virtual file systems and integrates
+readily with other Python GIS packages such as pyproj, Rtree and Shapely.
