  10 This file describes the built-in types, exceptions and functions and the
  11 standard modules that come with the Python system.  It assumes basic
  12 knowledge about the Python language.  For an informal introduction to
  13 the language, see the Python Tutorial.  The Python Reference Manual
  14 gives a more formal definition of the language.  (These manuals are not
  15 yet available in INFO or Texinfo format.)
