15 Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language
16 that combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. For an introduction
17 to programming in Python you are referred to the Python Tutorial. The Python
18 Library Reference documents built-in and standard types, constants, functions
19 and modules. Finally, the Python Reference Manual describes the syntax and
20 and semantics of the core language in (perhaps too) much detail.
22 Python's basic power can be extended with your own modules written in C or
23 C++. On most systems such modules may be dynamically loaded. Python is also
24 adaptable as an extension language for existing applications."
