This file 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
|
1998-03-05 19:33:10 +00:00
|
|
|
the language, see the @cite{Python Tutorial}.
|
|
|
|
The @cite{Python Reference Manual} gives a more formal definition of the
|
|
|
|
language. (These manuals are not available in INFO or Texinfo format.)
