+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 alongside Slackware's Python 2.x.

+archive).
