More explicit is ok, if that's what people want, but just not in the first sentence, because that stuff has nothing to do with what is being documented specifically (as evidenced by referencing a wikipedia article that doesn't even mention python).

I don't think more explicit is necessary, but if that's what others want, it's not bad.

How much of the python documentation should be dedicated to teaching people stuff that has nothing to do with python specifically?
