     {
       "@context": "https://schema.org",
       "@type": "WebSite",
       "url": "https://www.python.org/",
       "potentialAction": {
         "@type": "SearchAction",
         "target": "https://www.python.org/search/?q={search_term_string}",
         "query-input": "required name=search_term_string"
       }
     }
    

    var _gaq = _gaq || [];
    _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-39055973-1']);
    _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

    (function() {
        var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
        ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
        var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
    })();
