This document describes the built-in types, exceptions and functions
and the standard modules that come with the Python system. It assumes
basic knowledge about the Python language. For an informal
introduction to the language, see the {\em Python Tutorial}. The {\em
Python Reference Manual} gives a more formal definition of the
language.
