FEDORA-2026-a335d04675

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : python3.6
Product     : Fedora 44
Version     : 3.6.15
Release     : 57.fc44
URL         : https://www.python.org/
Summary     : Version 3.6 of the Python interpreter
Description :
Python 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 python3.6 package provides the "python3" executable: the reference
interpreter for the Python language, version 3.
The majority of its standard library is provided in the python3.6-libs package,
which should be installed automatically along with python3.6.
The remaining parts of the Python standard library are broken out into the
python3.6-tkinter and python3.6-test packages, which may need to be installed
separately.

Documentation for Python is provided in the python3.6-docs package.

Packages containing additional libraries for Python are generally named with
the "python3.6-" prefix.
