+The SMESH python package contains helper functions to manipulate mesh elements and
+interact with these elements.
+
+Note that these functions either encapsulate the python programming interface of SMESH core
+(the CORBA or SWIG interface for example) or extend existing utilities as the smesh.py module.
+
+The functions are distributed in the python package \b salome.smesh.
+
+\note
+The main package \b salome contains other sub-packages that are distributed with the other
+SALOME modules. For example, the KERNEL module provides the python package \b salome.kernel
+and GEOM the package \b salome.geom.
