|
Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming
|
|
language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data
|
|
structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it
|
|
very attractive for rapid application development, as well as for use
|
|
as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components
|
|
together. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes
|
|
readability and therefore reduces the cost of program
|
|
maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages
|
|
program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the
|
|
extensive standard library are available in source or binary form
|
|
without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed.
|
|
|
|
This reference manual describes the syntax and ``core semantics'' of
|
|
the language. It is terse, but attempts to be exact and complete.
|
|
The semantics of non-essential built-in object types and of the
|
|
built-in functions and modules are described in the
|
|
\citetitle[../lib/lib.html]{Python Library Reference}. For an
|
|
informal introduction to the language, see the
|
|
\citetitle[../tut/tut.html]{Python Tutorial}. For C or
|
|
\Cpp{} programmers, two additional manuals exist:
|
|
\citetitle[../ext/ext.html]{Extending and Embedding the Python
|
|
Interpreter} describes the high-level picture of how to write a Python
|
|
extension module, and the \citetitle[../api/api.html]{Python/C API
|
|
Reference Manual} describes the interfaces available to
|
|
C/\Cpp{} programmers in detail.
