Robby Workman 7a1b4848a3 python/*: Moved a lot of Python stuff here
The criteria for whether something "belongs" in Development or
Libraries or Python or ... is admittedly arbitrary.  As a general
rule, if it could be either Libraries or Python, it's Python.
Otherwise, pick one and we'll go from there...

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.
