 This module provides asyncio utilities and compatibility wrappers for
 Python 3.6 to provide some features that otherwise become available in
 Python 3.7+.
+
+Various logging and debugging utilities are also provided, such as
+`exception_summary()` and `pretty_traceback()`, used primarily for
+adding information into the logging stream.
