+%description -n python3-scipy
+Scipy is open-source software for mathematics, science, and
+engineering. The core library is NumPy which provides convenient and
+fast N-dimensional array manipulation. The SciPy library is built to
+work with NumPy arrays, and provides many user-friendly and efficient
+numerical routines such as routines for numerical integration and
+optimization. Together, they run on all popular operating systems, are
+quick to install, and are free of charge. NumPy and SciPy are easy to
+use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by some of the world's
+leading scientists and engineers.
