Added new Reading section.
If readability is so important to python, why don't python guides have a list of recommended awesome code to read? Why don't they explain that code? The idea behind this reading section is to provide such a guide. The idea here is to start with something small and useful, with a vision for the future, and iterate quickly.

Reading Great Code
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
One of the core tenants behind the design of Python is creating
|
||||
readable code. The motivation behind this design is simple: The number
|
||||
one thing that Python programmers do is read code.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the secrets of becoming a great Python programmer is to read,
|
||||
understand, and comprehend excellent code.
|
||||
|
||||
Excellent code typically follows the guidelines outlined in :ref:`code_style`,
|
||||
and does its best to express a clear and consise intent to the reader.
|
||||
|
||||
Included below is a list of recommended Python projects for reading. Each of
|
||||
these projects are paragons of excellent Python code.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

||||
- `Flask <https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask>`_
|
||||
