[Python-Dev] New chapter "Using Python" in the docs

[Georg Brandl]

Hi,

as you may have seen in the checkins, I just created a new chapter
in the docs called "Using Python."

We, the doc team, would like that section to contain, roughly,
information how to install Python on different platforms, how to
configure it, how to invoke it, what extra things and quirks you
should know about, etc.

Currently, there are two sections: one about the Python command-line
options, newly distilled from the manpage and other sources docs, and the
old "Using Python on Mac" document which had been in the HOWTO section
since the migration.

Now it would of course be nice to have at least two other documents
for Unixy platforms and Windows...

I don't think this is not written down somewhere, but it isn't in the
official docs currently -- so it'd be wonderful if you could help us
to collect this information, give it a proper shape and add it to
the new chapter.

Even links to wiki pages, blog articles etc. can help!

Cheers,
Georg

two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
