[README-PYTHON]

I think README is a fairly common name for a file in a direcory if you are
trying to help somebody get started. It's common enough that it has a
Wikipedia page.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/README
I don't know of any standard for that sort of thing, but I've seen it
enough and it makes sense. Anything in all UPPER case stands out in a
directory listing.
README-foo is an obvious extension.
HOWTO is another common term. That's why I added HOWTO-OpenSSL. I needed
it for my use so I cleaned it up a bit and put it where others might see
it.
