Georg Brandl | 116aa62 | 2007-08-15 14:28:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7 | This reference manual describes the syntax and "core semantics" of the |
| 8 | language. It is terse, but attempts to be exact and complete. The semantics of |
| 9 | non-essential built-in object types and of the built-in functions and modules |
| 10 | are described in :ref:`library-index`. For an informal introduction to the |
| 11 | language, see :ref:`tutorial-index`. For C or C++ programmers, two additional |
| 12 | manuals exist: :ref:`extending-index` describes the high-level picture of how to |
| 13 | write a Python extension module, and the :ref:`c-api-index` describes the |
| 14 | interfaces available to C/C++ programmers in detail. |
