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. \end{abstract} \pagebreak \tableofcontents \pagebreak \pagenumbering{arabic} \input{lib1.tex} % intro; built-in types, functions and exceptions \input{lib2.tex} % built-in modules \input{lib3.tex} % standard modules \input{lib4.tex} % OS-dependent chapters \input{lib5.tex} % Graphics chapters \input{lib.ind} % The index \end{document}
