+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.
