users should check with the latest release notes for changes or new functionality that might not be
documented here.
6.2 Python scripting service

defined by an abstract scripting service interface, with the possibility of there being several different
implementations. A prototype implementation is available based upon the Python[4] scripting
language. The Python scripting language will not be described in detail here, but only a brief overview
will be presented.
