|
Python is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented programming
|
|
language. It supports a wide range of applications, from simple text
|
|
processing scripts to interactive WWW browsers.
|
|
|
|
While the \emph{Python Reference Manual} describes the exact syntax and
|
|
semantics of the language, it does not describe the standard library
|
|
that is distributed with the language, and which greatly enhances its
|
|
immediate usability. This library contains built-in modules (written
|
|
in C) that provide access to system functionality such as file I/O
|
|
that would otherwise be inaccessible to Python programmers, as well as
|
|
modules written in Python that provide standardized solutions for many
|
|
problems that occur in everyday programming. Some of these modules
|
|
are explicitly designed to encourage and enhance the portability of
|
|
Python programs.
|
|
|
|
This library reference manual documents Python's standard library, as
|
|
well as many optional library modules (which may or may not be
|
|
available, depending on whether the underlying platform supports them
|
|
and on the configuration choices made at compile time). It also
|
|
documents the standard types of the language and its built-in
|
|
functions and exceptions, many of which are not or incompletely
|
|
documented in the Reference Manual.
|
|
|
|
This manual assumes basic knowledge about the Python language. For an
|
|
informal introduction to Python, see the \emph{Python Tutorial}; the
|
|
\emph{Python Reference Manual} remains the highest authority on
|
|
syntactic and semantic questions. Finally, the manual entitled
|
|
\emph{Extending and Embedding the Python Interpreter} describes how to
|
|
add new extensions to Python and how to embed it in other applications.
