For an introduction to programming in +Python you are referred to the Python Tutorial. The +Python Library Reference documents built-in and standard +types, constants, functions and modules. Finally, the +Python Reference Manual describes the syntax and semantics +of the core language in (perhaps too) much detail. + +Python's basic power can be extended with your own modules +written in C or C++. On most systems such modules may be +dynamically loaded. Python is also adaptable as an exten- +sion language for existing applications. See the internal +documentation for hints. |
