+Name: taskthread
+Version: 1.4
+Summary: Simple thread module to repetitively perform a task on a single thread
+Home-page: http://hpcloud.com
+Author: John Herndon

+Description: TaskThread
+ ==========
+
+ Python thread module to repeat an predefined task on a thread mulitple times.
+ A TaskThread is useful when a task needs to be repeated several times on
+ a separate thread. Normal usage of the threading.Thread class would call for
+ creation of a new thread each time the same task needs to be run. This module
+ allows for repetitive tasks to be run multiple times on the same thread by having
+ the thread wait until the task needs to be executed again.
+
+
+ Provided Classes
+ ----------------
+ ``taskthread.TaskThread```
+ A sub-class of ``threading.Thread`` that may execute a single task
+ multiple times without the overhead of starting a new thread.
+ ``taskthread.TaskInProcessException``
+ Exception that is thrown if a task is started on a thread that is
+ already executing.
+
+
+ Installation
+ ------------
+
+ *taskthread* may be installed by executing ``pip install taskthread``.
