-py-MarkupSafe is a python module that implements a XML/HTML/XHTML Markup
-safe string.
+MarkupSafe implements a text object that escapes characters so it is safe to use
+in HTML and XML. Characters that have special meanings are replaced so that they
+display as the actual characters. This mitigates injection attacks, meaning
+untrusted user input can safely be displayed on a page.
