The Language Specification

The specification of the Python  programming language is called “The Python Language Reference ” and can be found in the file »reference.pdf«.

That work is the definitive grammar of the Python  programming language. It defines the syntax and semantics of Python.

The Documentation of the Standard Library

The documentation of the standard library of the Python  programming language is called “The Python Library Reference ” and can be found in the file »library.pdf«.

That work is the “dictionary” of the Python  programming language, so to speak. It describes the programs of the standard library.

An Overview of Python 

»tutorial.pdf« contains the “Python Tutorial ”, an overview of the Python  programming language for readers without previous knowledge of Python.

A Manual for Some Tools

A manual for some tools (programs) for Python  is called "Python Setup and Usage " and can be found in the file »using.pdf«.

There, you can find information about

• installing Python  on Linux, Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh,
• configuring a Python  installation and
• calling Python  tools (like »py«).
