  51      "Python is a remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that
  52 is used in a wide variety of application domains.  Some of its key
  53 distinguishing features include: clear, readable syntax; strong
  54 introspection capabilities; intuitive object orientation; natural
  55 expression of procedural code; full modularity, supporting hierarchical
  56 packages; exception-based error handling; and very high level dynamic
  57 data types.")
