Fedora 26 Update: 2018-04-09 Moderate Python3 Security Issues

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.

Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python3-docs package.

This package provides the "python3" executable; most of the actual

implementation is within the "python3-libs" and "system-python-libs" packages.
