i am new to python and i have seen references in its documentation and
code to name strings with greater-than and less-than signs, such as
filename="<input>".  i have looked high and low for an explanation of
what a string with < and > on both ends means, but have found none. 
can someone give me a reference to some resource that explains why
some strings need < and > around them.  Thanks.
