The Python Tutorial

|
Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient
|
|
high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to
|
|
object-oriented programming. Python's elegant syntax and dynamic typing,
|
|
together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting
|
|
and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms.
|
|
|
|
The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are freely available
|
|
in source or binary form for all major platforms from the Python Web site,
|
|
http://www.python.org/, and may be freely distributed. The same site also
|
|
contains distributions of and pointers to many free third party Python modules,
|
|
programs and tools, and additional documentation.
|
|
|
|
The Python interpreter is easily extended with new functions and data types
|
|
implemented in C or C++ (or other languages callable from C). Python is also
|
|
suitable as an extension language for customizable applications.
|
|
|
|
This tutorial introduces the reader informally to the basic concepts and
|
|
features of the Python language and system. It helps to have a Python
|
|
interpreter handy for hands-on experience, but all examples are self-contained,
|
|
so the tutorial can be read off-line as well.
|
|
|
|
For a description of standard objects and modules, see the Python Library
|
|
Reference document. The Python Reference Manual gives a more formal definition
|
|
of the language. To write extensions in C or C++, read Extending and Embedding
|
|
the Python Interpreter and Python/C API Reference. There are also several books
|
|
covering Python in depth.
|
|
|
|
This tutorial does not attempt to be comprehensive and cover every single
|
|
feature, or even every commonly used feature. Instead, it introduces many of
|
|
Python's most noteworthy features, and will give you a good idea of the
|
|
language's flavor and style. After reading it, you will be able to read and
|
|
write Python modules and programs, and you will be ready to learn more about the
|
|
various Python library modules described in the Python Library Reference.
|
|
|
|
The :ref:`glossary` is also worth going through.
