This is Info file pylibi, produced by Makeinfo-1.55 from the input file lib.texi. This file describes the built-in types, exceptions and functions and the standard modules that come with the Python system. It assumes basic knowledge about the Python language. For an informal introduction to the language, see the Python Tutorial. The Python Reference Manual gives a more formal definition of the language.
