I'm not sure what this is intended to demonstrate, but it's certainly  
not a good example of idiomatic python code.  The ratio of real data  
to cruft is about 1:1

python = {"Easy to read",
                 "Fast to code",
                 etc
                 "Open source and cross platform"]

is certainly the way anybody would write that.
