This informal language  reference is arranged into  four major parts: a brief  tutorial, an introduction to  Python; an informal language  reference that covers  lexical conventions,  functions, statements,  control flow, datatypes,  classes, and execution  models; the Python library;  and the Python C API used to  write Python extensions.
