<p>Reading this tutorial has probably reinforced your interest in using Python —
you should be eager to apply Python to solving your real-world problems. Where
should you go to learn more?</p>
<p>This tutorial is part of Python’s documentation set. Some other documents in
the set are:</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first"><a class="reference internal" href="../library/index.html#library-index"><em>The Python Standard Library</em></a>:</p>
<p>You should browse through this manual, which gives complete (though terse)
reference material about types, functions, and the modules in the standard
library. The standard Python distribution includes a <em>lot</em> of additional code.
There are modules to read Unix mailboxes, retrieve documents via HTTP, generate
random numbers, parse command-line options, write CGI programs, compress data,
and many other tasks. Skimming through the Library Reference will give you an
idea of what’s available.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><a class="reference internal" href="../install/index.html#install-index"><em>Installing Python Modules</em></a> explains how to install external modules written by other
Python users.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><a class="reference internal" href="../reference/index.html#reference-index"><em>The Python Language Reference</em></a>: A detailed explanation of Python’s syntax and
semantics. It’s heavy reading, but is useful as a complete guide to the
language itself.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>More Python resources:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org">http://www.python.org</a>: The major Python Web site. It contains code,
documentation, and pointers to Python-related pages around the Web. This Web
site is mirrored in various places around the world, such as Europe, Japan, and
Australia; a mirror may be faster than the main site, depending on your
geographical location.</li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://docs.python.org">http://docs.python.org</a>: Fast access to Python’s documentation.</li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org">http://pypi.python.org</a>: The Python Package Index, previously also nicknamed
the Cheese Shop, is an index of user-created Python modules that are available
for download. Once you begin releasing code, you can register it here so that
others can find it.</li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/">http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/</a>: The Python Cookbook is a
sizable collection of code examples, larger modules, and useful scripts.
Particularly notable contributions are collected in a book also titled Python
Cookbook (O’Reilly & Associates, ISBN 0-596-00797-3.)</li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://scipy.org">http://scipy.org</a>: The Scientific Python project includes modules for fast
array computations and manipulations plus a host of packages for such
things as linear algebra, Fourier transforms, non-linear solvers,
random number distributions, statistical analysis and the like.</li>
</ul>
<p>For Python-related questions and problem reports, you can post to the newsgroup
<em class="newsgroup">comp.lang.python</em>, or send them to the mailing list at
<a class="reference external" href="mailto:python-list%40python.org">python-list<span>@</span>python<span>.</span>org</a>. The newsgroup and mailing list are gatewayed, so
messages posted to one will automatically be forwarded to the other. There are
around 120 postings a day (with peaks up to several hundred), asking (and
answering) questions, suggesting new features, and announcing new modules.
Before posting, be sure to check the list of <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/doc/faq/">Frequently Asked Questions</a> (also called the FAQ), or look for it in the
<tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">Misc/</span></tt> directory of the Python source distribution. Mailing list
archives are available at <a class="reference external" href="http://mail.python.org/pipermail/">http://mail.python.org/pipermail/</a>. The FAQ answers
many of the questions that come up again and again, and may already contain the
solution for your problem.</p>
