+    Simple module for displaying next Google Calendar event.
+
+    Requires the Google Calendar API package - https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/quickstart/python.
+    Additionally requires the `colour`, `httplib2`, `oauth2client`, `pytz`, `apiclient` and `dateutil` modules.
+
+    All top level keys returned by the Google Calendar API can be used as formatters. Some
+    examples include:
+
+    .. rubric:: Available formatters
+
+    * `{kind}` — type of event
+    * `{status}` — eg, confirmed
+    * `{summary}` — essentially the title
+    * `{htmlLink}` — link to the calendar event
