Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
|
|
|
|
|
language that combines remarkable power with very clear syntax.
|
|
|
|
|
Python's basic power can be extended with your own modules written in C
|
|
|
|
|
or C++. Python is also adaptable as an extension language for existing
|
|
|
|
|
applications.

Python 3 (a.k.a. "Python 3000" or "Py3k") is a new version of the
|
|
|
|
|
language that is incompatible with the 2.x line of releases. The
|
|
|
|
|
language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how built-in
|
|
|
|
|
objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably,
|
|
|
|
|
and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed. Also, the
|
|
|
|
|
standard library has been reorganized in a few prominent places.

It is safe to install this on a system which already has 2.x version of
|
|
|
|
|
Python.
