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