Fedora 27 Security Advisory: Python3 3.6.5 Critical Update

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 python3 package provides the "python3" executable: the reference

interpreter for the Python language, version 3.

The majority of its standard library is provided in the python3-libs package,

which should be installed automatically along with python3.

The remaining parts of the Python standard library are broken out into the

python3-tkinter and python3-test packages, which may need to be installed

separately.

Documentation for Python is provided in the python3-docs package.

Packages containing additional libraries for Python are generally named with

the "python3-" prefix.
