<span id="reference-index"></span><h1>The Python Language Reference<a class="headerlink" href="#the-python-language-reference" title="Permalink to this headline">ΒΆ</a></h1>
<p>This reference manual describes the syntax and “core semantics” of the
language. It is terse, but attempts to be exact and complete. The semantics of
non-essential built-in object types and of the built-in functions and modules
are described in <a class="reference internal" href="../library/index.html#library-index"><em>The Python Standard Library</em></a>. For an informal introduction to the
language, see <a class="reference internal" href="../tutorial/index.html#tutorial-index"><em>The Python Tutorial</em></a>. For C or C++ programmers, two additional
manuals exist: <a class="reference internal" href="../extending/index.html#extending-index"><em>Extending and Embedding the Python Interpreter</em></a> describes the high-level picture of how to
write a Python extension module, and the <a class="reference internal" href="../c-api/index.html#c-api-index"><em>Python/C API Reference Manual</em></a> describes the
interfaces available to C/C++ programmers in detail.</p>
