La référence du langage Python

This reference manual describes the syntax and core semantics of the language. It is terse, but attempts to be exact and complete.

Elsewhere, the built-in object types and functions are described in Python built-ins reference. Standard library modules are described in The Python standard library.

For an informal introduction to the language, see Le tutoriel Python. For C or C++ programmers, two additional manuals exist: Extension et intégration de l'interpréteur Python describes the high-level picture of how to write a Python extension module, and the Python/C API reference manual describes the interfaces available to C/C++ programmers in detail.
