Description: NXT_Python/NXT-Python
        
        NXT_Python is a package for controlling a LEGO NXT robot using the Python
        programming language. It can communicate using either USB or Bluetooth. It is
        available under the Free Software Foundation's GPL license. It was developed on
        Fedora Core (Linux), but has been tested on Windows as well.
        Releases halted in May 2007.
        
        NXT-Python is based on NXT_Python, but is significantly newer, and, as time
        goes on, different/better. This is NXT-Python.
