It should be used in conjunction with the <em class="citetitle"><a href="../lib/lib.html" title="Python Library Reference" >Python Library Reference</a></em>, which documents the standard library and built-in types. <P> This manual assumes basic knowledge about the Python language. For an informal introduction to Python, see the <em class="citetitle"><a href="../tut/tut.html" title="Python Tutorial" >Python Tutorial</a></em>; the <em class="citetitle"><a href="../ref/ref.html" title="Python Reference Manual" >Python Reference Manual</a></em> remains the highest authority on syntactic and semantic questions. Finally, the manual entitled <em class="citetitle"><a href="../ext/ext.html" title="Extending and Embedding the Python Interpreter" >Extending and Embedding the Python Interpreter</a></em> describes how to add new extensions to Python and how to embed it in other applications. <P> </DIV> <P> <P> <DIV CLASS="navigation"> <div class='online-navigation'><hr /> <table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> <tr> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="Macintosh Library Modules" rel="prev" title="Macintosh Library Modules" href="mac.html"><img src='../icons/previous.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></A></td> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="Macintosh Library Modules" rel="parent" title="Macintosh Library Modules" href="mac.html"><img src='../icons/up.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Up One Level' width='32' /></A></td> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="Contents" rel="next" title="Contents" href="contents.html"><img src='../icons/next.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></A></td> <td align="center" width="100%">Macintosh Library Modules</td> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" href="contents.html"><img src='../icons/contents.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Contents' width='32' /></A></td> <td class='online-navigation'><a href="modindex.html" title="Module Index"><img src='../icons/modules.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Module Index' width='32' /></a></td> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="index" title="Index" rel="index" title="Index" href="genindex.html"><img src='../icons/index.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Index' width='32' /></A></td> </tr></table> <div class='online-navigation'> <b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="mac.html">Macintosh Library Modules</A> <b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="mac.html">Macintosh Library Modules</A> <b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" rel="next" href="contents.html">Contents</A> </div> </div> <hr /> <span class="release-info">Release 2.3.4, documentation updated on May 20, 2004.</span> </DIV> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> <ADDRESS> See <i><a href="about.html">About this document...</a></i> for information on suggesting changes. </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
