+Paste Deployment is a system for finding and configuring WSGI applications and servers.
+For WSGI application consumers it provides a single, simple function (loadapp) for
+loading a WSGI application from a configuration file or a Python Egg.
+For WSGI application providers it only asks for a single, simple entry point to your
+application, so that application users don't need to be exposed to the implementation
+details of your application.
+
+The result is something a system administrator can install and manage without knowing
+any Python, or the details of the WSGI application or its container.
+
+Paste Deployment currently does not require other parts of Paste, and is distributed
+as a separate package.
