Name : python3.12
Product : Fedora 42
Version : 3.12.12
Release : 2.fc42
URL : https://www.python.org/
Summary : Version 3.12 of the Python interpreter
Description :
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.
