===========
-* None yet.
+importlib.resources
+-------------------
+
+This module provides several new APIs and one new ABC for access to, opening,
+and reading *resources* inside packages. Resources are roughly akin to files
+inside of packages, but they needn't be actual files on the physical file
+system. Module loaders can implement the
+:class:`importlib.abc.ResourceReader` ABC to support this new module's API.
