+ The <span class="application">PL/Python</span> procedural language allows
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> functions and procedures to be written in the
+ <a class="ulink" href="https://www.python.org" target="_top">Python language</a>.
+ </p><p>
+ To install PL/Python in a particular database, use
+ <code class="literal">CREATE EXTENSION plpython3u</code>.
+ </p><div class="tip"><h3 class="title">Tip</h3><p>
+ If a language is installed into <code class="literal">template1</code>, all subsequently
+ created databases will have the language installed automatically.
+ </p></div><p>
+ PL/Python is only available as an <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">untrusted</span>”</span> language, meaning
+ it does not offer any way of restricting what users can do in it and
+ is therefore named <code class="literal">plpython3u</code>. A trusted
+ variant <code class="literal">plpython</code> might become available in the future
+ if a secure execution mechanism is developed in Python. The
+ writer of a function in untrusted PL/Python must take care that the
+ function cannot be used to do anything unwanted, since it will be
+ able to do anything that could be done by a user logged in as the
+ database administrator. Only superusers can create functions in
+ untrusted languages such as <code class="literal">plpython3u</code>.
+ </p><div class="note"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
+ Users of source packages must specially enable the build of
+ PL/Python during the installation process. (Refer to the
+ installation instructions for more information.) Users of binary
+ packages might find PL/Python in a separate subpackage.
