Python is a programming language - although 2.2 is quite an old version, they're now up to 2.5.
Presumably you've found it on your computer and are wondering how it got there. It is quite often installed as the scripting language for a game - for example Civilization 4 allows you to use it to create custom scenarios for the game.
It's a very powerful language, and if you're at all interested in programming it's a great place to start. Go to http://www.python.org for some tutorials.

Python is a remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains. Python is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Ruby, Scheme or Java. Some of its key distinguishing features include:
* very clear, readable syntax
* strong introspection capabilities
* intuitive object orientation
* natural expression of procedural code
* full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages
* exception-based error handling
* very high level dynamic data types
* extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually every task
* extensions and modules easily written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython, or .NET languages for IronPython)
* embeddable within applications as a scripting interface
