10This file describes the built-in types, exceptions and functions and the
11standard modules that come with the Python system. It assumes basic
12knowledge about the Python language. For an informal introduction to
13the language, see the Python Tutorial. The Python Reference Manual
14gives a more formal definition of the language. (These manuals are not
15yet available in INFO or Texinfo format.)
