+Many fields depend on \kpy\footnote{This is my attempt to produce a text symbol for Python, similar to \LaTeX{}. My thought is that it looks like a snake wriggling back and forth. Your mileage, of course, may (and probably will) vary.} to process data.

+Mueller\cite{mueller:jp23} has many reasons why a knowledge of Python may be useful in a career search.
