The Standard Manual Set
For the complete and most up-to-date description of the language and its toolset, Python’s standard manuals stand ready to serve. Python’s manuals ship in HTML and other formats, and they are installed with the Python system on Windows—they are available in your Start button’s menu for Python, and they can also be opened from the Help menu within IDLE. You can also fetch the manual set separately from http://www.python.org in a variety of formats, or read them online at that site (follow the Documentation link). On Windows, the manuals are a compiled help file to support searches, and the online versions at the Python website include a web-based search page.
When opened, the Windows format of the manuals displays a root page like that in Figure 15-4. The two most important entries here are most likely the Library Reference (which documents built-in types, functions, exceptions, and standard library modules) and the Language Reference (which provides a formal description of language-level details). The tutorial listed on this page also provides a brief introduction for newcomers.

Figure 15-4. Python’s standard manual set, available online at http://www.python.org, from IDLE’s Help menu, and in the Windows Start button menu. It’s a searchable help file on Windows, and there is a search engine for the online version. Of these, the Library Reference is the one you’ll want to use most of the time.
