+.SH NAME
+python \(en an extensible interpreted programming language
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B python
+[
+.I X11-options
+] [
+.I script
+[
+.I arguments
+] ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Python is an extensible interpreted programming language that
+combines remarkable power with very clear syntax.
+For an introduction to programming in Python you are referred to the
+Python Tutorial.
+.PP
+The interpreter operates somewhat like the UNIX shell: when called with
+standard input connected to a tty device, it reads and executes commands
+interactively until an EOF is read;
+when called with a file name argument or with a file as standard
+input, it reads and executes a
+.I script
+from that file.
+If available, the script name and additional arguments thereafter are
+passed to the script in the variable
+.I sys.argv ,
+which is a list of strings.
+In interactive mode, the primary prompt is `>>>'; the second prompt
+(which appears when a command is not complete) is `...'.
+.SH FILES AND DIRECTORIES
+.IP /usr/local/lib/python
+This might be the directory containing the library of standard modules.
+(Installation-dependent.)
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+.IP PYTHONPATH
+Sets the search path for module files.
+The format is the same as the shell's $PATH: one or more directory
+pathnames separated by colons.
+Non-existant directories are silently ignored.
+The default search path is installation dependent, but always begins
+with `.', (for example,
+.I .:/usr/local/lib/python ).
