\noindent
|
|
Python is a simple, yet powerful, interpreted programming language
|
|
that bridges the gap between C and shell programming, and is thus
|
|
ideally suited for ``throw-away programming'' and rapid prototyping.
|
|
Its syntax is put together from constructs borrowed from a variety of
|
|
other languages; most prominent are influences from ABC, C, Modula-3
|
|
and Icon.
|
|
|
|
The Python interpreter is easily extended with new functions and data
|
|
types implemented in C. Python is also suitable as an extension
|
|
language for highly customizable C applications such as editors or
|
|
window managers.
|
|
|
|
Python is available for various operating systems, amongst which
|
|
several flavors of {\UNIX}, Amoeba, the Apple Macintosh O.S.,
|
|
and MS-DOS.
|
|
|
|
This reference manual describes the syntax and ``core semantics'' of
|
|
the language. It is terse, but attempts to be exact and complete.
|
|
The semantics of non-essential built-in object types and of the
|
|
built-in functions and modules are described in the {\em Python
|
|
Library Reference}. For an informal introduction to the language, see
|
|
the {\em Python Tutorial}.
