+<p>Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, open source,
+extensible programming language. It combines clarity and readability,
+making it an extremely powerful language that can be used for various
+applications and problems.</p>
+
+<p>Python is simple and easy to learn and apply.  It offers an interactive
+environment in which to explore procedural, functional and object
+oriented approaches to problem solving. Its high level data structures,
+extensive documentation and clear syntax make it an ideal first
+language, while the large number of existing libraries make it suitable
+to tackle almost any programming tasks. Its simplicity makes it easy to
+adapt to multiple educational domains.</p>
+
+<p>Python has several libraries that enable numeric and symbolic computing.
+It also interfaces well with native codes in C,C++ and FORTRAN and has
+excellent libraries for plotting/visualization. Python also provides
+libraries for general purpose computing including generating user
+interfaces and web development. These coupled with it's interactive
+interpreter make Python an excellent language for Scientific Computing.</p>
+
+<p>All these features when combined with their wide-ranging applications
+make Python a perfect fit for use in Education, Industry and Scientific
+Computing.</p>
