+:mod:`excellon` --- Excellon file handling
+==============================================
+
+.. module:: excellon
+ :synopsis: Functions and classes for handling Excellon files
+.. sectionauthor:: Hamilton Kibbe <ham@hamiltonkib.be>
+
+
+The Excellon format is the most common format for exporting PCB drill
+information. The Excellon format is used to program CNC drilling macines for
+drilling holes in PCBs. As such, excellon files are sometimes refererred to as
+NC-drill files. The Excellon format reference is available
+`here <http://www.excellon.com/manuals/program.htm>`_. The :mod:`excellon`
+submodule implements calsses to read and write excellon files without having
+to know the precise details of the format.
+
+The :mod:`excellon` submodule's :func:`read` function serves as a
+simple interface for parsing excellon files. The :class:`ExcellonFile` class
+stores all the information contained in an Excellon file allowing the file to
+be analyzed, modified, and updated. The :class:`ExcellonParser` class is used
+in the background for parsing RS-274X files.

+The RS-274X (Gerber) format is the most common format for exporting PCB
