Python Reference Manual describes the syntax and "core semantics" of the Python programming language

?Written by the creator of the Python language

?Documents the standard types of the language and its built-in functions and exceptions

Python's simple, easy-to-learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed.

This volume is designed to be a handy desktop companion, saving you the time and expense of printing the documentation yourself. It is also useful when viewing the online version of the Python documentation is inconvenient.
