[SOLVED] Wikidata Sparql get item descriptions

I'm following the MWAPI docs (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Query_Service/User_Manual/MWAPI#Find_all_entities_with_labels_%22cheese%22_and_get_their_types) and have the following query:

SELECT * WHERE {
  SERVICE wikibase:mwapi {
      bd:serviceParam wikibase:endpoint "www.wikidata.org";
                      wikibase:api "EntitySearch";
                      mwapi:search "python";
                      mwapi:language "en".
      ?item wikibase:apiOutputItem mwapi:item.
      ?label wikibase:apiOutputItem mwapi:label.
      ?num wikibase:apiOrdinal true.
  }
} 
ORDER BY ASC(?num) LIMIT 10

I also want to retrieve the description of the wikidata item but don't know how to get it. I've tried adding the following line ?description wikibase:apiOutputItem mwapi:description but it seems to be an invalid property on the API. How do I retrieve it and where can I find this in the docs?

The wikibase:label service provides both the label and the description of an item for a specified language. Both have to be explicitly queried for in the SELECT part:

SELECT ?item ?itemLabel ?itemDescription ?num WHERE {
  SERVICE wikibase:mwapi {
    bd:serviceParam wikibase:endpoint "www.wikidata.org";
                    wikibase:api "EntitySearch";
                    mwapi:search "python";
                    mwapi:language "en".
    ?item wikibase:apiOutputItem mwapi:item.
    ?num wikibase:apiOrdinal true.
  }
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
}
ORDER BY ASC(?num) LIMIT 10
