python - An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language.
- Description:
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python includes
modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and
dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and
libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk,
Mac and MFC).
Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++.
Python can be used as an extension language for applications that need
a programmable interface. This package contains most of the standard
Python modules, as well as modules for interfacing to the Tix widget
set for Tk and RPM.
Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs
package.

Changelog
by David Malcolm (2011-04-14):
- add patch adapted from upstream (patch 208) to add support for building
against system expat; add --with-system-expat to "configure" invocation; remove
embedded copy of expat 1.95.7 from the source tree during "prep"
- ensure pyexpat.so gets built by explicitly listing all C modules in the
payload in %files, rather than using dynfiles
