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