A Referência da Linguagem 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 Referência da bibliotecas embutidas do Python. Standard library modules are described in The Python standard library.

For an informal introduction to the language, see O tutorial do Python. For C or C++ programmers, two additional manuals exist: Estendendo e incorporando o interpretador Python describes the high-level picture of how to write a Python extension module, and the Manual de referência da API C/Python describes the interfaces available to C/C++ programmers in detail.
