The Python library consists of three parts, with different levels of
|
||
|
|
integration with the interpreter.
|
||
|
|
Closest to the interpreter are built-in types, exceptions and functions.
|
||
|
|
Next are built-in modules, which are written in \C{} and linked statically
|
||
|
|
with the interpreter.
|
||
|
|
Finally there are standard modules that are implemented entirely in
|
||
|
|
Python, but are always available.
|
||
|
|
For efficiency, some standard modules may become built-in modules in
|
||
|
|
future versions of the interpreter.
