83<DIV CLASS="ABSTRACT">

85<P>
86Python is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented programming
87language. It supports a wide range of applications, from simple text
88processing scripts to interactive Web browsers.
89
90<P>
91While the <em class="citetitle"><a
92 href="../ref/ref.html"
93 title="Python Reference Manual"
94 >Python Reference Manual</a></em>
95describes the exact syntax and semantics of the language, it does not
96describe the standard library that is distributed with the language,
97and which greatly enhances its immediate usability. This library
98contains built-in modules (written in C) that provide access to system
99functionality such as file I/O that would otherwise be inaccessible to
100Python programmers, as well as modules written in Python that provide
101standardized solutions for many problems that occur in everyday
102programming. Some of these modules are explicitly designed to
103encourage and enhance the portability of Python programs.
104
105<P>
106This library reference manual documents Python's standard library, as
107well as many optional library modules (which may or may not be
108available, depending on whether the underlying platform supports them
109and on the configuration choices made at compile time). It also
110documents the standard types of the language and its built-in
111functions and exceptions, many of which are not or incompletely
112documented in the Reference Manual.
113
114<P>
115This manual assumes basic knowledge about the Python language. For an
116informal introduction to Python, see the
117<em class="citetitle"><a
118 href="../tut/tut.html"
119 title="Python Tutorial"
120 >Python Tutorial</a></em>; the
121<em class="citetitle"><a
122 href="../ref/ref.html"
123 title="Python Reference Manual"
124 >Python Reference Manual</a></em> remains the
125highest authority on syntactic and semantic questions. Finally, the
126manual entitled <em class="citetitle"><a
127 href="../ext/ext.html"
128 title="Extending and Embedding
129the Python Interpreter"
130 >Extending and Embedding
131the Python Interpreter</a></em> describes how to add new extensions to Python
132and how to embed it in other applications.
