What's your problem ? Shows gregarious reflexes are easily captured

with simple models, and Python's worth as a modelling language in war 
and human rights related matters - just as has been demonstrated by the 
professor who used python to track war crime statistics in Kosovo.

The "python >>>" that prefixes the expression is there to nudge readers 
in less python-related contexts to instantiate the adequate shell to its 
prompt. (say, a redhat user who just knows python by name).
