Tracy Johnson asked:
> Uhhhhh, what does Python do?

PYTHON is a scripting language/tool, similar to PERL.  Gavin Scott ported it
to MPE for the first FREEWARE tape, but hasn't updated it since (his current
silence doesn't indicate a lack of interest -- he's on vacation).

Quoting from the FAQ:

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language.
It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very high level dynamic
data types, and classes. Python combines remarkable power with very clear
syntax. It has interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to
various window systems, and is extensible in C or C++. It is also usable as
an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.
Finally, Python is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on the Mac, and
on PCs under MS-DOS, Windows, Windows NT, and OS/2.
