Psych!  I lied!  I don't have a clone; Michael sent me a copy of  describe.py 
with his copyright removed.  AFAIK, this is the most recent copy in existence, 
and I'm attaching it here.

If/when you revive the extension, would you mind posting an announcement (or 
emailing me) with the URL?

I'm also quoting the email that Michael sent me the file with, for context:

Michael Kleehammer, on 2008-08-19
