       Introduction
        “Python is an easy to learn, powerful 
         programming language. It has efficient high-
         level data structures and a simple but effective 
         approach to object-oriented programming. 
         Python's elegant syntax and dynamic typing, 
         together with its interpreted nature, make it an 
         ideal language for scripting and rapid 
         application development in many areas on 
         most platforms.”

    Why “Python” ?
     “Guido van Rossum, the creator of the 
      Python language, named the language 
      after the BBC show "Monty Python's 
      Flying Circus". He doesn't particularly 
      like snakes that kill animals for food by 
      winding their long bodies around them 
      and crushing them.” 

        or 2.5 are still recommended.
         Many third-party modules have issues with
          Python 3.x, which is very different from v2.x.
