| \noindent |
| This document describes the built-in types, exceptions and functions |
| and the standard modules that come with the Python system. 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. |
