+ <paragraph role="paragraph" id="N0437">%PRODUCTNAME Basic proposes <literal>InputBox()</literal>, <literal>Msgbox()</literal> and <literal>Print()</literal> screen I/O functions. Python alternatives exist relying either on %PRODUCTNAME API Abstract Windowing Toolkit, either on Python to Basic function calls. The latter proposes a syntax that is intentionally close to that of Basic, and uses a Python module next to a Basic module. The API Scripting Framework is used to perform Basic, BeanShell, JavaScript and Python inter-languages function calls.</paragraph>
