<!-- Update your html tag to include the itemscope and itemtype attributes.
-->
<html itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness">

<!-- Add the following three tags inside head. -->
<meta itemprop="name" content="Python Programming Language">
<meta itemprop="description" content="Home page for Python, an interpreted,
interactive, extensive programming language. It provides an extraordinary
combination of clarity and versatility, and is open source and
comprehensively ported.">
<meta itemprop="image" content="http://www.python.org/images/python-logo.gif
