old_contents: descr   = """ audiolab is a small python package to import data from audio
  files to numpy arrays and export data from numpy arrays to audio files. It uses
  libsndfile from Erik Castro de Lopo for the underlying IO, which supports many
  different audio formats: http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/
  
  For now, the python api for audio IO should be stable; a matlab-like API is
  also available for quick read/write (ala wavread, wavwrite, etc...). For 1.0
  release, I hope to add support for simple read/write to soundcard, to be able
  to record and listen to data in numpy arrays.
