The Python Standard Library

###############################

:Release: |version|

|
While :ref:`reference-index` describes the exact syntax and
|
|
semantics of the Python language, this library reference manual
|
|
describes the standard library that is distributed with Python. It also
|
|
describes some of the optional components that are commonly included
|
|
in Python distributions.
|
|
|
|
Python's standard library is very extensive, offering a wide range of
|
|
facilities as indicated by the long table of contents listed below. The
|
|
library contains built-in modules (written in C) that provide access to
|
|
system functionality such as file I/O that would otherwise be
|
|
inaccessible to Python programmers, as well as modules written in Python
|
|
that provide standardized solutions for many problems that occur in
|
|
everyday programming. Some of these modules are explicitly designed to
|
|
encourage and enhance the portability of Python programs by abstracting
|
|
away platform-specifics into platform-neutral APIs.
|
|
|
|
The Python installers for the Windows platform usually includes
|
|
the entire standard library and often also include many additional
|
|
components. For Unix-like operating systems Python is normally provided
|
|
as a collection of packages, so it may be necessary to use the packaging
|
|
tools provided with the operating system to obtain some or all of the
|
|
optional components.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the standard library, there is a growing collection of
|
|
several thousand components (from individual programs and modules to
|
|
packages and entire application development frameworks), available from
|
|
the `Python Package Index <http://pypi.python.org/pypi>`_.
