From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
Python /pi:'thon/   In the words of its author, "the other    scripting language" (other than {Perl}, that is).   Python's design    is notably clean, elegant, and well thought through; it tends to    attract the sort of programmers who find Perl grubby and exiguous.    Python's relationship with Perl is rather like the BSD community's    relationship to Linux - it's the smaller party in a (usually    friendly) rivalry, but the average quality of its developers is    generally conceded to be rather higher than in the larger community    it competes with.   There's a Python resource page at    `http://www.python.org'.   See also {Guido}.       = Q =

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Python          1. A simple, high-level interpreted language by       Guido van Rossum , 1991.   Python combines ideas       from {ABC}, {C}, {Modula-3} and {Icon}.   It bridges the gap       between {C} and {shell} programming, making it suitable for       rapid prototyping or as an extension language for C       applications.   It is {object-oriented} and supports packages,       {modules}, {classes}, user-defined exceptions, a good C       interface, dynamic loading of C modules and has no arbitrary       restrictions.          Python is available, among others, for {Unix}, {Windows},       {DOS}, {OS/2}, {Macintosh}, and {Amoeba}.          Current version: 1.4, includes {interpreter}, libraries, and       documentation.          {Home (http://www.python.org/)}.          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.lang.python}.          2. A {compiler} for {CMU Common LISP}.   Python is       more sophisticated than other {Common Lisp} compilers.   It       produces better code and is easier to use.   The programming       environment based on the {Hemlock} editor is better integrated       than {GNU} {Emacs} based environments.          (1997-02-27)

Padan       a plain, occurring only in Gen. 48:7, where it designates       Padan-aram.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Pithom       Egyptian, Pa-Tum, "house of Tum," the sun-god, one of the       "treasure" cities built for Pharaoh Rameses II. by the       Israelites (Ex. 1:11). It was probably the Patumos of the Greek       historian Herodotus. It has now been satisfactorily identified       with Tell-el-Maskhuta, about 12 miles west of Ismailia, and 20       east of Tel-el-Kebir, on the southern bank of the present Suez       Canal. Here have recently (1883) been discovered the ruins of       supposed grain-chambers, and other evidences to show that this       was a great "store city." Its immense ruin-heaps show that it       was built of bricks, and partly also of bricks without straw.       Succoth (Ex. 12:37) is supposed by some to be the secular name       of this city, Pithom being its sacred name. This was the first       halting-place of the Israelites in their exodus. It has been       argued (Dr. Lansing) that these "store" cities "were residence       cities, royal dwellings, such as the Pharaohs of old, the Kings       of Israel, and our modern Khedives have ever loved to build,       thus giving employment to the superabundant muscle of their       enslaved peoples, and making a name for themselves."
