These must all be propagated-inputs.

The code includes tests in axolotl/tests/ (and maybe elsewhere. Please
check if these are installed and if so, if they can be safely removed.

Isn't this "python implementation of the axolotl protocol"? Oh, I just
checked the code: It's as ugly as Java code is. So "python port of
libaxolotl-android" is correct.

Did this Moxie Marlinspike write the python port or just the
"libaxolotl-android"? In any case, persons should not be  glamorized in
descriptions. We also do not write "PGP originally developed by Phill
Zimmerman". This only leads to personality cult - and esp. this person
is very debatable.
