Python is an accessible, high-level, dynamically typed, interpreted programming
language, designed with an emphasis on code readibility.
It includes an extensive standard library, and has a vast ecosystem of
third-party libraries.
The python36 package provides the "python3.6" executable: the reference
interpreter for the Python language, version 3.
The package also installs the "python3" executable which is user configurable
using the "alternatives --config python3" command.
For the unversioned "python" command, see manual page "unversioned-python".
The python36-devel package contains files for dovelopment of Python application
and the python36-debug is helpful for debugging.
Packages containing additional libraries for Python 3.6 are generally named
with the "python3-" prefix.
