Summary:

Python 3.12 is an accessible, high-level, dynamically typed, interpreted 
programming language, designed with an emphasis on code readability. It 
includes an extensive standard library, and has a vast ecosystem of third-party 
libraries. The python3.12 package provides the "python3.12" executable: the 
reference interpreter for the Python language, version 3. The majority of its 
standard library is provided in the python3.12-libs package, which should be 
installed automatically along with python3.12. The remaining parts of the 
Python standard library are broken out into the python3.12-tkinter and 
python3.12-test packages, which may need to be installed separately. 
Documentation for Python is provided in the python3.12-docs package. Packages 
containing additional libraries for Python are generally named with the 
"python3.12-" prefix. For the unversioned "python" executable, see manual page 
"unversioned-python".
