 | This file 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 Python Tutorial.  The Python Reference Manual | 
 | gives a more formal definition of the language.  (These manuals are not | 
 | yet available in INFO or Texinfo format.) |
