This manual provides an introduction to Python, an easy to learn object-oriented programming language. Python combines power with clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level data types, and dynamic typing.

It can be used with GNU (GNU/Linux), Unix, Microsoft Windows and many other systems.
