+What is Python?
+---------------
+
+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
+MS-DOS.
+
+As a short example of what Python looks like, here's a script to
+print prime numbers (not blazingly fast, but readable!). When this
+file is made executable, it is callable directly from the UNIX shell
+(if your system supports #! in scripts and the python interpreter is
+installed at the indicated place).
+
+#!/usr/local/bin/python
+
+# Print prime numbers in a given range
+
+def main():
+ import sys
+ min, max = 2, 0x7fffffff
+ if sys.argv[1:]:
+ min = int(eval(sys.argv[1]))
+ if sys.argv[2:]:
+ max = int(eval(sys.argv[2]))
+ primes(min, max)
+
+def primes(min, max):
+ if 2 >= min: print 2
+ primes = [2]
+ i = 3
+ while i <= max:
+ for p in primes:
+ if i%p == 0 or p*p > i: break
+ if i%p <> 0:
+ primes.append(i)
+ if i >= min: print i
+ i = i+2
+
+main()
