Abstract:
Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures anda simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python's elegant syntax and dynamictyping, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid applicationdevelopment in many areas on most platforms.The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are freely available in source or binary form forall major platforms from the Python Web site,
, and can 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++ (orother languages callable from C). Python is also suitable as an extension language for customizableapplications.This tutorial introduces the reader informally to the basic concepts and features of the Python languageand 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

Instead, it introduces many of Python's most noteworthy features, and will giveyou a good idea of the language's flavor and style. After reading it, you will be able to read and writePython modules and programs, and you will be ready to learn more about the various Python librarymodules described in the
