topics = {'assert': u'\nThe "assert" statement\n**********************\n\nAssert statements are a convenient way to insert debugging assertions\ninto a program:\n\n   assert_stmt ::= "assert" expression ["," expression]\n\nThe simple form, "assert expression", is equivalent to\n\n   if __debug__:\n      if not expression: raise AssertionError\n\nThe extended form, "assert expression1, expression2", is equivalent to\n\n   if __debug__:\n      if not expression1: raise AssertionError(expression2)\n\nThese equivalences assume that "__debug__" and "AssertionError" refer\nto the built-in variables with those names.  In the current\nimplementation, the built-in variable "__debug__" is "True" under\nnormal circumstances, "False" when optimization is requested (command\nline option -O).  The current code generator emits no code for an\nassert statement when optimization is requested at compile time.  Note\nthat it is unnecessary to include the source code for the expression\nthat failed in the error message; it will be displayed as part of the\nstack trace.\n\nAssignments to "__debug__" are illegal.  The value for the built-in\nvariable is determined when the interpreter starts.\n',
 'assignment': u'\nAssignment statements\n*********************\n\nAssignment statements are used to (re)bind names to values and to\nmodify attributes or items of mutable objects:\n\n   assignment_stmt ::= (target_list "=")+ (expression_list | yield_expression)\n   target_list     ::= target ("," target)* [","]\n   target          ::= identifier\n              | "(" target_list ")"\n              | "[" target_list "]"\n              | attributeref\n              | subscription\n              | slicing\n\n(See section *Primaries* for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn assignment statement evaluates the expression list (remember that\nthis can be a single expression or a comma-separated list, the latter\nyielding a tuple) and assigns the single resulting object to each of\nthe target lists, from left to right.\n\nAssignment is defined recursively depending on the form of the target\n(list). When a target is part of a mutable object (an attribute\nreference, subscription or slicing), the mutable object must\nultimately perform the assignment and decide about its validity, and\nmay raise an exception if the assignment is unacceptable.  The rules\nobserved by various types and the exceptions raised are given with the\ndefinition of the object types (see section *The standard type\nhierarchy*).\n\nAssignment of an object to a target list is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target list is a single target: The object is assigned to\n  that target.\n\n* If the target list is a comma-separated list of targets: The\n  object must be an iterable with the same number of items as there\n  are targets in the target list, and the items are assigned, from\n  left to right, to the corresponding targets.\n\nAssignment of an object to a single target is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target is an identifier (name):\n\n  * If the name does not occur in a "global" statement in the\n    current code block: the name is bound to the object in the current\n    local namespace.\n\n  * Otherwise: the name is bound to the object in the current global\n    namespace.\n\n  The name is rebound if it was already bound.  This may cause the\n  reference count for the object previously bound to the name to reach\n  zero, causing the object to be deallocated and its destructor (if it\n  has one) to be called.\n\n* If the target is a target list enclosed in parentheses or in\n  square brackets: The object must be an iterable with the same number\n  of items as there are targets in the target list, and its items are\n  assigned, from left to right, to the corresponding targets.\n\n* If the target is an attribute reference: The primary expression in\n  the reference is evaluated.  It should yield an object with\n  assignable attributes; if this is not the case, "TypeError" is\n  raised.  That object is then asked to assign the assigned object to\n  the given attribute; if it cannot perform the assignment, it raises\n  an exception (usually but not necessarily "AttributeError").\n\n  Note: If the object is a class instance and the attribute reference\n  occurs on both sides of the assignment operator, the RHS expression,\n  "a.x" can access either an instance attribute or (if no instance\n  attribute exists) a class attribute.  The LHS target "a.x" is always\n  set as an instance attribute, creating it if necessary.  Thus, the\n  two occurrences of "a.x" do not necessarily refer to the same\n  attribute: if the RHS expression refers to a class attribute, the\n  LHS creates a new instance attribute as the target of the\n  assignment:\n\n     class Cls:\n         x = 3             # class variable\n     inst = Cls()\n     inst.x = inst.x + 1   # writes inst.x as 4 leaving Cls.x as 3\n\n  This description does not necessarily apply to descriptor\n  attributes, such as properties created with "property()".\n\n* If the target is a subscription: The primary expression in the\n  reference is evaluated.  It should yield either a mutable sequence\n  object (such as a list) or a mapping object (such as a dictionary).\n 
 'atom-identifiers': u'\nIdentifiers (Names)\n*******************\n\nAn identifier occurring as an atom is a name.  See section\n*Identifiers and keywords* for lexical definition and section *Naming\nand binding* for documentation of naming and binding.\n\nWhen the name is bound to an object, evaluation of the atom yields\nthat object. When a name is not bound, an attempt to evaluate it\nraises a "NameError" exception.\n\n**Private name mangling:** When an identifier that textually occurs in\na class definition begins with two or more underscore characters and\ndoes not end in two or more underscores, it is considered a *private\nname* of that class. Private names are transformed to a longer form\nbefore code is generated for them.  The transformation inserts the\nclass name, with leading underscores removed and a single underscore\ninserted, in front of the name.  For example, the identifier "__spam"\noccurring in a class named "Ham" will be transformed to "_Ham__spam".\nThis transformation is independent of the syntactical context in which\nthe identifier is used.  If the transformed name is extremely long\n(longer than 255 characters), implementation defined truncation may\nhappen. If the class name consists only of underscores, no\ntransformation is done.\n',
 'atom-literals': u"\nLiterals\n********\n\nPython supports string literals and various numeric literals:\n\n   literal ::= stringliteral | integer | longinteger\n               | floatnumber | imagnumber\n\nEvaluation of a literal yields an object of the given type (string,\ninteger, long integer, floating point number, complex number) with the\ngiven value.  The value may be approximated in the case of floating\npoint and imaginary (complex) literals.  See section *Literals* for\ndetails.\n\nAll literals correspond to immutable data types, and hence the\nobject's identity is less important than its value.  Multiple\nevaluations of literals with the same value (either the same\noccurrence in the program text or a different occurrence) may obtain\nthe same object or a different object with the same value.\n",
 'attribute-access': u'\nCustomizing attribute access\n****************************\n\nThe following methods can be defined to customize the meaning of\nattribute access (use of, assignment to, or deletion of "x.name") for\nclass instances.\n\nobject.__getattr__(self, name)\n\n   Called when an attribute lookup has not found the attribute in the\n   usual places (i.e. it is not an instance attribute nor is it found\n   in the class tree for "self").  "name" is the attribute name. This\n   method should return the (computed) attribute value or raise an\n   "AttributeError" exception.\n\n   Note that if the attribute is found through the normal mechanism,\n   "__getattr__()" is not called.  (This is an intentional asymmetry\n   between "__getattr__()" and "__setattr__()".) This is done both for\n   efficiency reasons and because otherwise "__getattr__()" would have\n   no way to access other attributes of the instance.  Note that at\n   least for instance variables, you can fake total control by not\n   inserting any values in the instance attribute dictionary (but\n   instead inserting them in another object).  See the\n   "__getattribute__()" method below for a way to actually get total\n   control in new-style classes.\n\nobject.__setattr__(self, name, value)\n\n   Called when an attribute assignment is attempted.  This is called\n   instead of the normal mechanism (i.e. store the value in the\n   instance dictionary).  *name* is the attribute name, *value* is the\n   value to be assigned to it.\n\n   If "__setattr__()" wants to assign to an instance attribute, it\n   should not simply execute "self.name = value" --- this would cause\n   a recursive call to itself.  Instead, it should insert the value in\n   the dictionary of instance attributes, e.g., "self.__dict__[name] =\n   value".  For new-style classes, rather than accessing the instance\n   dictionary, it should call the base class method with the same\n   name, for example, "object.__setattr__(self, name, value)".\n\nobject.__delattr__(self, name)\n\n   Like "__setattr__()" but for attribute deletion instead of\n   assignment.  This should only be implemented if "del obj.name" is\n   meaningful for the object.\n\n\nMore attribute access for new-style classes\n===========================================\n\nThe following methods only apply to new-style classes.\n\nobject.__getattribute__(self, name)\n\n   Called unconditionally to implement attribute accesses for\n   instances of the class. If the class also defines "__getattr__()",\n   the latter will not be called unless "__getattribute__()" either\n   calls it explicitly or raises an "AttributeError". This method\n   should return the (computed) attribute value or raise an\n   "AttributeError" exception. In order to avoid infinite recursion in\n   this method, its implementation should always call the base class\n   method with the same name to access any attributes it needs, for\n   example, "object.__getattribute__(self, name)".\n\n   Note: This method may still be bypassed when looking up special\n     methods as the result of implicit invocation via language syntax\n     or built-in functions. See *Special method lookup for new-style\n     classes*.\n\n\nImplementing Descriptors\n========================\n\nThe following methods only apply when an instance of the class\ncontaining the method (a so-called *descriptor* class) appears in an\n*owner* class (the descriptor must be in either the owner\'s class\ndictionary or in the class dictionary for one of its parents).  In the\nexamples below, "the attribute" refers to the attribute whose name is\nthe key of the property in the owner class\' "__dict__".\n\nobject.__get__(self, instance, owner)\n\n   Called to get the attribute of the owner class (class attribute\n   access) or of an instance of that class (instance attribute\n   access). *owner* is always the owner class, while *instance* is the\n   instance that the attribute was accessed through, or "None" when\n   the attribute is accessed through the *owner*.  This method should\n   return the (computed
 'attribute-references': u'\nAttribute references\n********************\n\nAn attribute reference is a primary followed by a period and a name:\n\n   attributeref ::= primary "." identifier\n\nThe primary must evaluate to an object of a type that supports\nattribute references, e.g., a module, list, or an instance.  This\nobject is then asked to produce the attribute whose name is the\nidentifier.  If this attribute is not available, the exception\n"AttributeError" is raised. Otherwise, the type and value of the\nobject produced is determined by the object.  Multiple evaluations of\nthe same attribute reference may yield different objects.\n',
 'augassign': u'\nAugmented assignment statements\n*******************************\n\nAugmented assignment is the combination, in a single statement, of a\nbinary operation and an assignment statement:\n\n   augmented_assignment_stmt ::= augtarget augop (expression_list | yield_expression)\n   augtarget                 ::= identifier | attributeref | subscription | slicing\n   augop                     ::= "+=" | "-=" | "*=" | "/=" | "//=" | "%=" | "**="\n             | ">>=" | "<<=" | "&=" | "^=" | "|="\n\n(See section *Primaries* for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn augmented assignment evaluates the target (which, unlike normal\nassignment statements, cannot be an unpacking) and the expression\nlist, performs the binary operation specific to the type of assignment\non the two operands, and assigns the result to the original target.\nThe target is only evaluated once.\n\nAn augmented assignment expression like "x += 1" can be rewritten as\n"x = x + 1" to achieve a similar, but not exactly equal effect. In the\naugmented version, "x" is only evaluated once. Also, when possible,\nthe actual operation is performed *in-place*, meaning that rather than\ncreating a new object and assigning that to the target, the old object\nis modified instead.\n\nWith the exception of assigning to tuples and multiple targets in a\nsingle statement, the assignment done by augmented assignment\nstatements is handled the same way as normal assignments. Similarly,\nwith the exception of the possible *in-place* behavior, the binary\noperation performed by augmented assignment is the same as the normal\nbinary operations.\n\nFor targets which are attribute references, the same *caveat about\nclass and instance attributes* applies as for regular assignments.\n',
 'binary': u'\nBinary arithmetic operations\n****************************\n\nThe binary arithmetic operations have the conventional priority\nlevels.  Note that some of these operations also apply to certain non-\nnumeric types.  Apart from the power operator, there are only two\nlevels, one for multiplicative operators and one for additive\noperators:\n\n   m_expr ::= u_expr | m_expr "*" u_expr | m_expr "//" u_expr | m_expr "/" u_expr\n              | m_expr "%" u_expr\n   a_expr ::= m_expr | a_expr "+" m_expr | a_expr "-" m_expr\n\nThe "*" (multiplication) operator yields the product of its arguments.\nThe arguments must either both be numbers, or one argument must be an\ninteger (plain or long) and the other must be a sequence. In the\nformer case, the numbers are converted to a common type and then\nmultiplied together.  In the latter case, sequence repetition is\nperformed; a negative repetition factor yields an empty sequence.\n\nThe "/" (division) and "//" (floor division) operators yield the\nquotient of their arguments.  The numeric arguments are first\nconverted to a common type. Plain or long integer division yields an\ninteger of the same type; the result is that of mathematical division\nwith the \'floor\' function applied to the result. Division by zero\nraises the "ZeroDivisionError" exception.\n\nThe "%" (modulo) operator yields the remainder from the division of\nthe first argument by the second.  The numeric arguments are first\nconverted to a common type.  A zero right argument raises the\n"ZeroDivisionError" exception.  The arguments may be floating point\nnumbers, e.g., "3.14%0.7" equals "0.34" (since "3.14" equals "4*0.7 +\n0.34".)  The modulo operator always yields a result with the same sign\nas its second operand (or zero); the absolute value of the result is\nstrictly smaller than the absolute value of the second operand [2].\n\nThe integer division and modulo operators are connected by the\nfollowing identity: "x == (x/y)*y + (x%y)".  Integer division and\nmodulo are also connected with the built-in function "divmod()":\n"divmod(x, y) == (x/y, x%y)".  These identities don\'t hold for\nfloating point numbers; there similar identities hold approximately\nwhere "x/y" is replaced by "floor(x/y)" or "floor(x/y) - 1" [3].\n\nIn addition to performing the modulo operation on numbers, the "%"\noperator is also overloaded by string and unicode objects to perform\nstring formatting (also known as interpolation). The syntax for string\nformatting is described in the Python Library Reference, section\n*String Formatting Operations*.\n\nDeprecated since version 2.3: The floor division operator, the modulo\noperator, and the "divmod()" function are no longer defined for\ncomplex numbers.  Instead, convert to a floating point number using\nthe "abs()" function if appropriate.\n\nThe "+" (addition) operator yields the sum of its arguments. The\narguments must either both be numbers or both sequences of the same\ntype.  In the former case, the numbers are converted to a common type\nand then added together.  In the latter case, the sequences are\nconcatenated.\n\nThe "-" (subtraction) operator yields the difference of its arguments.\nThe numeric arguments are first converted to a common type.\n',
 'bitwise': u'\nBinary bitwise operations\n*************************\n\nEach of the three bitwise operations has a different priority level:\n\n   and_expr ::= shift_expr | and_expr "&" shift_expr\n   xor_expr ::= and_expr | xor_expr "^" and_expr\n   or_expr  ::= xor_expr | or_expr "|" xor_expr\n\nThe "&" operator yields the bitwise AND of its arguments, which must\nbe plain or long integers.  The arguments are converted to a common\ntype.\n\nThe "^" operator yields the bitwise XOR (exclusive OR) of its\narguments, which must be plain or long integers.  The arguments are\nconverted to a common type.\n\nThe "|" operator yields the bitwise (inclusive) OR of its arguments,\nwhich must be plain or long integers.  The arguments are converted to\na common type.\n',
 'bltin-code-objects': u'\nCode Objects\n************\n\nCode objects are used by the implementation to represent "pseudo-\ncompiled" executable Python code such as a function body. They differ\nfrom function objects because they don\'t contain a reference to their\nglobal execution environment.  Code objects are returned by the built-\nin "compile()" function and can be extracted from function objects\nthrough their "func_code" attribute. See also the "code" module.\n\nA code object can be executed or evaluated by passing it (instead of a\nsource string) to the "exec" statement or the built-in "eval()"\nfunction.\n\nSee *The standard type hierarchy* for more information.\n',
 'bltin-ellipsis-object': u'\nThe Ellipsis Object\n*******************\n\nThis object is used by extended slice notation (see *Slicings*).  It\nsupports no special operations.  There is exactly one ellipsis object,\nnamed "Ellipsis" (a built-in name).\n\nIt is written as "Ellipsis".  When in a subscript, it can also be\nwritten as "...", for example "seq[...]".\n',
 'bltin-null-object': u'\nThe Null Object\n***************\n\nThis object is returned by functions that don\'t explicitly return a\nvalue.  It supports no special operations.  There is exactly one null\nobject, named "None" (a built-in name).\n\nIt is written as "None".\n',
 'bltin-type-objects': u'\nType Objects\n************\n\nType objects represent the various object types.  An object\'s type is\naccessed by the built-in function "type()".  There are no special\noperations on types.  The standard module "types" defines names for\nall standard built-in types.\n\nTypes are written like this: "<type \'int\'>".\n',
 'booleans': u'\nBoolean operations\n******************\n\n   or_test  ::= and_test | or_test "or" and_test\n   and_test ::= not_test | and_test "and" not_test\n   not_test ::= comparison | "not" not_test\n\nIn the context of Boolean operations, and also when expressions are\nused by control flow statements, the following values are interpreted\nas false: "False", "None", numeric zero of all types, and empty\nstrings and containers (including strings, tuples, lists,\ndictionaries, sets and frozensets).  All other values are interpreted\nas true.  (See the "__nonzero__()" special method for a way to change\nthis.)\n\nThe operator "not" yields "True" if its argument is false, "False"\notherwise.\n\nThe expression "x and y" first evaluates *x*; if *x* is false, its\nvalue is returned; otherwise, *y* is evaluated and the resulting value\nis returned.\n\nThe expression "x or y" first evaluates *x*; if *x* is true, its value\nis returned; otherwise, *y* is evaluated and the resulting value is\nreturned.\n\n(Note that neither "and" nor "or" restrict the value and type they\nreturn to "False" and "True", but rather return the last evaluated\nargument. This is sometimes useful, e.g., if "s" is a string that\nshould be replaced by a default value if it is empty, the expression\n"s or \'foo\'" yields the desired value.  Because "not" has to invent a\nvalue anyway, it does not bother to return a value of the same type as\nits argument, so e.g., "not \'foo\'" yields "False", not "\'\'".)\n',
 'break': u'\nThe "break" statement\n*********************\n\n   break_stmt ::= "break"\n\n"break" may only occur syntactically nested in a "for" or "while"\nloop, but not nested in a function or class definition within that\nloop.\n\nIt terminates the nearest enclosing loop, skipping the optional "else"\nclause if the loop has one.\n\nIf a "for" loop is terminated by "break", the loop control target\nkeeps its current value.\n\nWhen "break" passes control out of a "try" statement with a "finally"\nclause, that "finally" clause is executed before really leaving the\nloop.\n',
 'callable-types': u'\nEmulating callable objects\n**************************\n\nobject.__call__(self[, args...])\n\n   Called when the instance is "called" as a function; if this method\n   is defined, "x(arg1, arg2, ...)" is a shorthand for\n   "x.__call__(arg1, arg2, ...)".\n',
 'calls': u'\nCalls\n*****\n\nA call calls a callable object (e.g., a *function*) with a possibly\nempty series of *arguments*:\n\n   call                 ::= primary "(" [argument_list [","]\n            | expression genexpr_for] ")"\n   argument_list        ::= positional_arguments ["," keyword_arguments]\n                       ["," "*" expression] ["," keyword_arguments]\n                       ["," "**" expression]\n                     | keyword_arguments ["," "*" expression]\n                       ["," "**" expression]\n                     | "*" expression ["," keyword_arguments] ["," "**" expression]\n                     | "**" expression\n   positional_arguments ::= expression ("," expression)*\n   keyword_arguments    ::= keyword_item ("," keyword_item)*\n   keyword_item         ::= identifier "=" expression\n\nA trailing comma may be present after the positional and keyword\narguments but does not affect the semantics.\n\nThe primary must evaluate to a callable object (user-defined\nfunctions, built-in functions, methods of built-in objects, class\nobjects, methods of class instances, and certain class instances\nthemselves are callable; extensions may define additional callable\nobject types).  All argument expressions are evaluated before the call\nis attempted.  Please refer to section *Function definitions* for the\nsyntax of formal *parameter* lists.\n\nIf keyword arguments are present, they are first converted to\npositional arguments, as follows.  First, a list of unfilled slots is\ncreated for the formal parameters.  If there are N positional\narguments, they are placed in the first N slots.  Next, for each\nkeyword argument, the identifier is used to determine the\ncorresponding slot (if the identifier is the same as the first formal\nparameter name, the first slot is used, and so on).  If the slot is\nalready filled, a "TypeError" exception is raised. Otherwise, the\nvalue of the argument is placed in the slot, filling it (even if the\nexpression is "None", it fills the slot).  When all arguments have\nbeen processed, the slots that are still unfilled are filled with the\ncorresponding default value from the function definition.  (Default\nvalues are calculated, once, when the function is defined; thus, a\nmutable object such as a list or dictionary used as default value will\nbe shared by all calls that don\'t specify an argument value for the\ncorresponding slot; this should usually be avoided.)  If there are any\nunfilled slots for which no default value is specified, a "TypeError"\nexception is raised.  Otherwise, the list of filled slots is used as\nthe argument list for the call.\n\n**CPython implementation detail:** An implementation may provide\nbuilt-in functions whose positional parameters do not have names, even\nif they are \'named\' for the purpose of documentation, and which\ntherefore cannot be supplied by keyword.  In CPython, this is the case\nfor functions implemented in C that use "PyArg_ParseTuple()" to parse\ntheir arguments.\n\nIf there are more positional arguments than there are formal parameter\nslots, a "TypeError" exception is raised, unless a formal parameter\nusing the syntax "*identifier" is present; in this case, that formal\nparameter receives a tuple containing the excess positional arguments\n(or an empty tuple if there were no excess positional arguments).\n\nIf any keyword argument does not correspond to a formal parameter\nname, a "TypeError" exception is raised, unless a formal parameter\nusing the syntax "**identifier" is present; in this case, that formal\nparameter receives a dictionary containing the excess keyword\narguments (using the keywords as keys and the argument values as\ncorresponding values), or a (new) empty dictionary if there were no\nexcess keyword arguments.\n\nIf the syntax "*expression" appears in the function call, "expression"\nmust evaluate to an iterable.  Elements from this iterable are treated\nas if they were additional positional arguments; if there are\npositional arguments *x1*, ..., *xN*, and "expression" evaluates to a\nseque
 'class': u'\nClass definitions\n*****************\n\nA class definition defines a class object (see section *The standard\ntype hierarchy*):\n\n   classdef    ::= "class" classname [inheritance] ":" suite\n   inheritance ::= "(" [expression_list] ")"\n   classname   ::= identifier\n\nA class definition is an executable statement.  It first evaluates the\ninheritance list, if present.  Each item in the inheritance list\nshould evaluate to a class object or class type which allows\nsubclassing.  The class\'s suite is then executed in a new execution\nframe (see section *Naming and binding*), using a newly created local\nnamespace and the original global namespace. (Usually, the suite\ncontains only function definitions.)  When the class\'s suite finishes\nexecution, its execution frame is discarded but its local namespace is\nsaved. [4] A class object is then created using the inheritance list\nfor the base classes and the saved local namespace for the attribute\ndictionary.  The class name is bound to this class object in the\noriginal local namespace.\n\n**Programmer\'s note:** Variables defined in the class definition are\nclass variables; they are shared by all instances.  To create instance\nvariables, they can be set in a method with "self.name = value".  Both\nclass and instance variables are accessible through the notation\n""self.name"", and an instance variable hides a class variable with\nthe same name when accessed in this way. Class variables can be used\nas defaults for instance variables, but using mutable values there can\nlead to unexpected results.  For *new-style class*es, descriptors can\nbe used to create instance variables with different implementation\ndetails.\n\nClass definitions, like function definitions, may be wrapped by one or\nmore *decorator* expressions.  The evaluation rules for the decorator\nexpressions are the same as for functions.  The result must be a class\nobject, which is then bound to the class name.\n\n-[ Footnotes ]-\n\n[1] The exception is propagated to the invocation stack unless\n    there is a "finally" clause which happens to raise another\n    exception.

 'comparisons': u'\nComparisons\n***********\n\nUnlike C, all comparison operations in Python have the same priority,\nwhich is lower than that of any arithmetic, shifting or bitwise\noperation.  Also unlike C, expressions like "a < b < c" have the\ninterpretation that is conventional in mathematics:\n\n   comparison    ::= or_expr ( comp_operator or_expr )*\n   comp_operator ::= "<" | ">" | "==" | ">=" | "<=" | "<>" | "!="\n                     | "is" ["not"] | ["not"] "in"\n\nComparisons yield boolean values: "True" or "False".\n\nComparisons can be chained arbitrarily, e.g., "x < y <= z" is\nequivalent to "x < y and y <= z", except that "y" is evaluated only\nonce (but in both cases "z" is not evaluated at all when "x < y" is\nfound to be false).\n\nFormally, if *a*, *b*, *c*, ..., *y*, *z* are expressions and *op1*,\n*op2*, ..., *opN* are comparison operators, then "a op1 b op2 c ... y\nopN z" is equivalent to "a op1 b and b op2 c and ... y opN z", except\nthat each expression is evaluated at most once.\n\nNote that "a op1 b op2 c" doesn\'t imply any kind of comparison between\n*a* and *c*, so that, e.g., "x < y > z" is perfectly legal (though\nperhaps not pretty).\n\nThe forms "<>" and "!=" are equivalent; for consistency with C, "!="\nis preferred; where "!=" is mentioned below "<>" is also accepted.\nThe "<>" spelling is considered obsolescent.\n\nThe operators "<", ">", "==", ">=", "<=", and "!=" compare the values\nof two objects.  The objects need not have the same type. If both are\nnumbers, they are converted to a common type.  Otherwise, objects of\ndifferent types *always* compare unequal, and are ordered consistently\nbut arbitrarily. You can control comparison behavior of objects of\nnon-built-in types by defining a "__cmp__" method or rich comparison\nmethods like "__gt__", described in section *Special method names*.\n\n(This unusual definition of comparison was used to simplify the\ndefinition of operations like sorting and the "in" and "not in"\noperators. In the future, the comparison rules for objects of\ndifferent types are likely to change.)\n\nComparison of objects of the same type depends on the type:\n\n* Numbers are compared arithmetically.\n\n* Strings are compared lexicographically using the numeric\n  equivalents (the result of the built-in function "ord()") of their\n  characters. Unicode and 8-bit strings are fully interoperable in\n  this behavior. [4]\n\n* Tuples and lists are compared lexicographically using comparison\n  of corresponding elements.  This means that to compare equal, each\n  element must compare equal and the two sequences must be of the same\n  type and have the same length.\n\n  If not equal, the sequences are ordered the same as their first\n  differing elements.  For example, "cmp([1,2,x], [1,2,y])" returns\n  the same as "cmp(x,y)".  If the corresponding element does not\n  exist, the shorter sequence is ordered first (for example, "[1,2] <\n  [1,2,3]").\n\n* Mappings (dictionaries) compare equal if and only if their sorted\n  (key, value) lists compare equal. [5] Outcomes other than equality\n  are resolved consistently, but are not otherwise defined. [6]\n\n* Most other objects of built-in types compare unequal unless they\n  are the same object; the choice whether one object is considered\n  smaller or larger than another one is made arbitrarily but\n  consistently within one execution of a program.\n\nThe operators "in" and "not in" test for collection membership.  "x in\ns" evaluates to true if *x* is a member of the collection *s*, and\nfalse otherwise.  "x not in s" returns the negation of "x in s". The\ncollection membership test has traditionally been bound to sequences;\nan object is a member of a collection if the collection is a sequence\nand contains an element equal to that object.  However, it make sense\nfor many other object types to support membership tests without being\na sequence.  In particular, dictionaries (for keys) and sets support\nmembership testing.\n\nFor the list and tuple types, "x in y" is true if and only if there\nexists an index
 'compound': u'\nCompound statements\n*******************\n\nCompound statements contain (groups of) other statements; they affect\nor control the execution of those other statements in some way.  In\ngeneral, compound statements span multiple lines, although in simple\nincarnations a whole compound statement may be contained in one line.\n\nThe "if", "while" and "for" statements implement traditional control\nflow constructs.  "try" specifies exception handlers and/or cleanup\ncode for a group of statements.  Function and class definitions are\nalso syntactically compound statements.\n\nCompound statements consist of one or more \'clauses.\'  A clause\nconsists of a header and a \'suite.\'  The clause headers of a\nparticular compound statement are all at the same indentation level.\nEach clause header begins with a uniquely identifying keyword and ends\nwith a colon.  A suite is a group of statements controlled by a\nclause.  A suite can be one or more semicolon-separated simple\nstatements on the same line as the header, following the header\'s\ncolon, or it can be one or more indented statements on subsequent\nlines.  Only the latter form of suite can contain nested compound\nstatements; the following is illegal, mostly because it wouldn\'t be\nclear to which "if" clause a following "else" clause would belong:\n\n   if test1: if test2: print x\n\nAlso note that the semicolon binds tighter than the colon in this\ncontext, so that in the following example, either all or none of the\n"print" statements are executed:\n\n   if x < y < z: print x; print y; print z\n\nSummarizing:\n\n   compound_stmt ::= if_stmt\n                     | while_stmt\n                     | for_stmt\n                     | try_stmt\n                     | with_stmt\n                     | funcdef\n                     | classdef\n                     | decorated\n   suite         ::= stmt_list NEWLINE | NEWLINE INDENT statement+ DEDENT\n   statement     ::= stmt_list NEWLINE | compound_stmt\n   stmt_list     ::= simple_stmt (";" simple_stmt)* [";"]\n\nNote that statements always end in a "NEWLINE" possibly followed by a\n"DEDENT". Also note that optional continuation clauses always begin\nwith a keyword that cannot start a statement, thus there are no\nambiguities (the \'dangling "else"\' problem is solved in Python by\nrequiring nested "if" statements to be indented).\n\nThe formatting of the grammar rules in the following sections places\neach clause on a separate line for clarity.\n\n\nThe "if" statement\n==================\n\nThe "if" statement is used for conditional execution:\n\n   if_stmt ::= "if" expression ":" suite\n               ( "elif" expression ":" suite )*\n               ["else" ":" suite]\n\nIt selects exactly one of the suites by evaluating the expressions one\nby one until one is found to be true (see section *Boolean operations*\nfor the definition of true and false); then that suite is executed\n(and no other part of the "if" statement is executed or evaluated).\nIf all expressions are false, the suite of the "else" clause, if\npresent, is executed.\n\n\nThe "while" statement\n=====================\n\nThe "while" statement is used for repeated execution as long as an\nexpression is true:\n\n   while_stmt ::= "while" expression ":" suite\n                  ["else" ":" suite]\n\nThis repeatedly tests the expression and, if it is true, executes the\nfirst suite; if the expression is false (which may be the first time\nit is tested) the suite of the "else" clause, if present, is executed\nand the loop terminates.\n\nA "break" statement executed in the first suite terminates the loop\nwithout executing the "else" clause\'s suite.  A "continue" statement\nexecuted in the first suite skips the rest of the suite and goes back\nto testing the expression.\n\n\nThe "for" statement\n===================\n\nThe "for" statement is used to iterate over the elements of a sequence\n(such as a string, tuple or list) or other iterable object:\n\n   for_stmt ::= "for" target_list "in" expression_list ":" suite\n                ["else" ":" s
 'context-managers': u'\nWith Statement Context Managers\n*******************************\n\nNew in version 2.5.\n\nA *context manager* is an object that defines the runtime context to\nbe established when executing a "with" statement. The context manager\nhandles the entry into, and the exit from, the desired runtime context\nfor the execution of the block of code.  Context managers are normally\ninvoked using the "with" statement (described in section *The with\nstatement*), but can also be used by directly invoking their methods.\n\nTypical uses of context managers include saving and restoring various\nkinds of global state, locking and unlocking resources, closing opened\nfiles, etc.\n\nFor more information on context managers, see *Context Manager Types*.\n\nobject.__enter__(self)\n\n   Enter the runtime context related to this object. The "with"\n   statement will bind this method\'s return value to the target(s)\n   specified in the "as" clause of the statement, if any.\n\nobject.__exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback)\n\n   Exit the runtime context related to this object. The parameters\n   describe the exception that caused the context to be exited. If the\n   context was exited without an exception, all three arguments will\n   be "None".\n\n   If an exception is supplied, and the method wishes to suppress the\n   exception (i.e., prevent it from being propagated), it should\n   return a true value. Otherwise, the exception will be processed\n   normally upon exit from this method.\n\n   Note that "__exit__()" methods should not reraise the passed-in\n   exception; this is the caller\'s responsibility.\n\nSee also: **PEP 0343** - The "with" statement\n\n     The specification, background, and examples for the Python "with"\n     statement.\n',
 'continue': u'\nThe "continue" statement\n************************\n\n   continue_stmt ::= "continue"\n\n"continue" may only occur syntactically nested in a "for" or "while"\nloop, but not nested in a function or class definition or "finally"\nclause within that loop.  It continues with the next cycle of the\nnearest enclosing loop.\n\nWhen "continue" passes control out of a "try" statement with a\n"finally" clause, that "finally" clause is executed before really\nstarting the next loop cycle.\n',
 'conversions': u'\nArithmetic conversions\n**********************\n\nWhen a description of an arithmetic operator below uses the phrase\n"the numeric arguments are converted to a common type," the arguments\nare coerced using the coercion rules listed at  *Coercion rules*.  If\nboth arguments are standard numeric types, the following coercions are\napplied:\n\n* If either argument is a complex number, the other is converted to\n  complex;\n\n* otherwise, if either argument is a floating point number, the\n  other is converted to floating point;\n\n* otherwise, if either argument is a long integer, the other is\n  converted to long integer;\n\n* otherwise, both must be plain integers and no conversion is\n  necessary.\n\nSome additional rules apply for certain operators (e.g., a string left\nargument to the \'%\' operator). Extensions can define their own\ncoercions.\n',
 'customization': u'\nBasic customization\n*******************\n\nobject.__new__(cls[, ...])\n\n   Called to create a new instance of class *cls*.  "__new__()" is a\n   static method (special-cased so you need not declare it as such)\n   that takes the class of which an instance was requested as its\n   first argument.  The remaining arguments are those passed to the\n   object constructor expression (the call to the class).  The return\n   value of "__new__()" should be the new object instance (usually an\n   instance of *cls*).\n\n   Typical implementations create a new instance of the class by\n   invoking the superclass\'s "__new__()" method using\n   "super(currentclass, cls).__new__(cls[, ...])" with appropriate\n   arguments and then modifying the newly-created instance as\n   necessary before returning it.\n\n   If "__new__()" returns an instance of *cls*, then the new\n   instance\'s "__init__()" method will be invoked like\n   "__init__(self[, ...])", where *self* is the new instance and the\n   remaining arguments are the same as were passed to "__new__()".\n\n   If "__new__()" does not return an instance of *cls*, then the new\n   instance\'s "__init__()" method will not be invoked.\n\n   "__new__()" is intended mainly to allow subclasses of immutable\n   types (like int, str, or tuple) to customize instance creation.  It\n   is also commonly overridden in custom metaclasses in order to\n   customize class creation.\n\nobject.__init__(self[, ...])\n\n   Called when the instance is created.  The arguments are those\n   passed to the class constructor expression.  If a base class has an\n   "__init__()" method, the derived class\'s "__init__()" method, if\n   any, must explicitly call it to ensure proper initialization of the\n   base class part of the instance; for example:\n   "BaseClass.__init__(self, [args...])".  As a special constraint on\n   constructors, no value may be returned; doing so will cause a\n   "TypeError" to be raised at runtime.\n\nobject.__del__(self)\n\n   Called when the instance is about to be destroyed.  This is also\n   called a destructor.  If a base class has a "__del__()" method, the\n   derived class\'s "__del__()" method, if any, must explicitly call it\n   to ensure proper deletion of the base class part of the instance.\n   Note that it is possible (though not recommended!) for the\n   "__del__()" method to postpone destruction of the instance by\n   creating a new reference to it.  It may then be called at a later\n   time when this new reference is deleted.  It is not guaranteed that\n   "__del__()" methods are called for objects that still exist when\n   the interpreter exits.\n\n   Note: "del x" doesn\'t directly call "x.__del__()" --- the former\n     decrements the reference count for "x" by one, and the latter is\n     only called when "x"\'s reference count reaches zero.  Some common\n     situations that may prevent the reference count of an object from\n     going to zero include: circular references between objects (e.g.,\n     a doubly-linked list or a tree data structure with parent and\n     child pointers); a reference to the object on the stack frame of\n     a function that caught an exception (the traceback stored in\n     "sys.exc_traceback" keeps the stack frame alive); or a reference\n     to the object on the stack frame that raised an unhandled\n     exception in interactive mode (the traceback stored in\n     "sys.last_traceback" keeps the stack frame alive).  The first\n     situation can only be remedied by explicitly breaking the cycles;\n     the latter two situations can be resolved by storing "None" in\n     "sys.exc_traceback" or "sys.last_traceback".  Circular references\n     which are garbage are detected when the option cycle detector is\n     enabled (it\'s on by default), but can only be cleaned up if there\n     are no Python-level "__del__()" methods involved. Refer to the\n     documentation for the "gc" module for more information about how\n     "__del__()" methods are handled by the cycle detector,\n     particularly the description o
 'debugger': u'\n"pdb" --- The Python Debugger\n*****************************\n\n**Source code:** Lib/pdb.py\n\n======================================================================\n\nThe module "pdb" defines an interactive source code debugger for\nPython programs.  It supports setting (conditional) breakpoints and\nsingle stepping at the source line level, inspection of stack frames,\nsource code listing, and evaluation of arbitrary Python code in the\ncontext of any stack frame.  It also supports post-mortem debugging\nand can be called under program control.\n\nThe debugger is extensible --- it is actually defined as the class\n"Pdb". This is currently undocumented but easily understood by reading\nthe source.  The extension interface uses the modules "bdb" and "cmd".\n\nThe debugger\'s prompt is "(Pdb)". Typical usage to run a program under\ncontrol of the debugger is:\n\n   >>> import pdb\n   >>> import mymodule\n   >>> pdb.run(\'mymodule.test()\')\n   > <string>(0)?()\n   (Pdb) continue\n   > <string>(1)?()\n   (Pdb) continue\n   NameError: \'spam\'\n   > <string>(1)?()\n   (Pdb)\n\n"pdb.py" can also be invoked as a script to debug other scripts.  For\nexample:\n\n   python -m pdb myscript.py\n\nWhen invoked as a script, pdb will automatically enter post-mortem\ndebugging if the program being debugged exits abnormally. After post-\nmortem debugging (or after normal exit of the program), pdb will\nrestart the program. Automatic restarting preserves pdb\'s state (such\nas breakpoints) and in most cases is more useful than quitting the\ndebugger upon program\'s exit.\n\nNew in version 2.4: Restarting post-mortem behavior added.\n\nThe typical usage to break into the debugger from a running program is\nto insert\n\n   import pdb; pdb.set_trace()\n\nat the location you want to break into the debugger.  You can then\nstep through the code following this statement, and continue running\nwithout the debugger using the "c" command.\n\nThe typical usage to inspect a crashed program is:\n\n   >>> import pdb\n   >>> import mymodule\n   >>> mymodule.test()\n   Traceback (most recent call last):\n     File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?\n     File "./mymodule.py", line 4, in test\n       test2()\n     File "./mymodule.py", line 3, in test2\n       print spam\n   NameError: spam\n   >>> pdb.pm()\n   > ./mymodule.py(3)test2()\n   -> print spam\n   (Pdb)\n\nThe module defines the following functions; each enters the debugger\nin a slightly different way:\n\npdb.run(statement[, globals[, locals]])\n\n   Execute the *statement* (given as a string) under debugger control.\n   The debugger prompt appears before any code is executed; you can\n   set breakpoints and type "continue", or you can step through the\n   statement using "step" or "next" (all these commands are explained\n   below).  The optional *globals* and *locals* arguments specify the\n   environment in which the code is executed; by default the\n   dictionary of the module "__main__" is used.  (See the explanation\n   of the "exec" statement or the "eval()" built-in function.)\n\npdb.runeval(expression[, globals[, locals]])\n\n   Evaluate the *expression* (given as a string) under debugger\n   control.  When "runeval()" returns, it returns the value of the\n   expression.  Otherwise this function is similar to "run()".\n\npdb.runcall(function[, argument, ...])\n\n   Call the *function* (a function or method object, not a string)\n   with the given arguments.  When "runcall()" returns, it returns\n   whatever the function call returned.  The debugger prompt appears\n   as soon as the function is entered.\n\npdb.set_trace()\n\n   Enter the debugger at the calling stack frame.  This is useful to\n   hard-code a breakpoint at a given point in a program, even if the\n   code is not otherwise being debugged (e.g. when an assertion\n   fails).\n\npdb.post_mortem([traceback])\n\n   Enter post-mortem debugging of the given *traceback* object.  If no\n   *traceback* is given, it uses the one of the exception that is\n   currently being handled (an exception must be being handled if th
 'del': u'\nThe "del" statement\n*******************\n\n   del_stmt ::= "del" target_list\n\nDeletion is recursively defined very similar to the way assignment is\ndefined. Rather than spelling it out in full details, here are some\nhints.\n\nDeletion of a target list recursively deletes each target, from left\nto right.\n\nDeletion of a name removes the binding of that name  from the local or\nglobal namespace, depending on whether the name occurs in a "global"\nstatement in the same code block.  If the name is unbound, a\n"NameError" exception will be raised.\n\nIt is illegal to delete a name from the local namespace if it occurs\nas a free variable in a nested block.\n\nDeletion of attribute references, subscriptions and slicings is passed\nto the primary object involved; deletion of a slicing is in general\nequivalent to assignment of an empty slice of the right type (but even\nthis is determined by the sliced object).\n',
 'dict': u'\nDictionary displays\n*******************\n\nA dictionary display is a possibly empty series of key/datum pairs\nenclosed in curly braces:\n\n   dict_display       ::= "{" [key_datum_list | dict_comprehension] "}"\n   key_datum_list     ::= key_datum ("," key_datum)* [","]\n   key_datum          ::= expression ":" expression\n   dict_comprehension ::= expression ":" expression comp_for\n\nA dictionary display yields a new dictionary object.\n\nIf a comma-separated sequence of key/datum pairs is given, they are\nevaluated from left to right to define the entries of the dictionary:\neach key object is used as a key into the dictionary to store the\ncorresponding datum.  This means that you can specify the same key\nmultiple times in the key/datum list, and the final dictionary\'s value\nfor that key will be the last one given.\n\nA dict comprehension, in contrast to list and set comprehensions,\nneeds two expressions separated with a colon followed by the usual\n"for" and "if" clauses. When the comprehension is run, the resulting\nkey and value elements are inserted in the new dictionary in the order\nthey are produced.\n\nRestrictions on the types of the key values are listed earlier in\nsection *The standard type hierarchy*.  (To summarize, the key type\nshould be *hashable*, which excludes all mutable objects.)  Clashes\nbetween duplicate keys are not detected; the last datum (textually\nrightmost in the display) stored for a given key value prevails.\n',
 'dynamic-features': u'\nInteraction with dynamic features\n*********************************\n\nThere are several cases where Python statements are illegal when used\nin conjunction with nested scopes that contain free variables.\n\nIf a variable is referenced in an enclosing scope, it is illegal to\ndelete the name.  An error will be reported at compile time.\n\nIf the wild card form of import --- "import *" --- is used in a\nfunction and the function contains or is a nested block with free\nvariables, the compiler will raise a "SyntaxError".\n\nIf "exec" is used in a function and the function contains or is a\nnested block with free variables, the compiler will raise a\n"SyntaxError" unless the exec explicitly specifies the local namespace\nfor the "exec".  (In other words, "exec obj" would be illegal, but\n"exec obj in ns" would be legal.)\n\nThe "eval()", "execfile()", and "input()" functions and the "exec"\nstatement do not have access to the full environment for resolving\nnames.  Names may be resolved in the local and global namespaces of\nthe caller.  Free variables are not resolved in the nearest enclosing\nnamespace, but in the global namespace. [1] The "exec" statement and\nthe "eval()" and "execfile()" functions have optional arguments to\noverride the global and local namespace.  If only one namespace is\nspecified, it is used for both.\n',
 'else': u'\nThe "if" statement\n******************\n\nThe "if" statement is used for conditional execution:\n\n   if_stmt ::= "if" expression ":" suite\n               ( "elif" expression ":" suite )*\n               ["else" ":" suite]\n\nIt selects exactly one of the suites by evaluating the expressions one\nby one until one is found to be true (see section *Boolean operations*\nfor the definition of true and false); then that suite is executed\n(and no other part of the "if" statement is executed or evaluated).\nIf all expressions are false, the suite of the "else" clause, if\npresent, is executed.\n',
 'exceptions': u'\nExceptions\n**********\n\nExceptions are a means of breaking out of the normal flow of control\nof a code block in order to handle errors or other exceptional\nconditions.  An exception is *raised* at the point where the error is\ndetected; it may be *handled* by the surrounding code block or by any\ncode block that directly or indirectly invoked the code block where\nthe error occurred.\n\nThe Python interpreter raises an exception when it detects a run-time\nerror (such as division by zero).  A Python program can also\nexplicitly raise an exception with the "raise" statement. Exception\nhandlers are specified with the "try" ... "except" statement.  The\n"finally" clause of such a statement can be used to specify cleanup\ncode which does not handle the exception, but is executed whether an\nexception occurred or not in the preceding code.\n\nPython uses the "termination" model of error handling: an exception\nhandler can find out what happened and continue execution at an outer\nlevel, but it cannot repair the cause of the error and retry the\nfailing operation (except by re-entering the offending piece of code\nfrom the top).\n\nWhen an exception is not handled at all, the interpreter terminates\nexecution of the program, or returns to its interactive main loop.  In\neither case, it prints a stack backtrace, except when the exception is\n"SystemExit".\n\nExceptions are identified by class instances.  The "except" clause is\nselected depending on the class of the instance: it must reference the\nclass of the instance or a base class thereof.  The instance can be\nreceived by the handler and can carry additional information about the\nexceptional condition.\n\nExceptions can also be identified by strings, in which case the\n"except" clause is selected by object identity.  An arbitrary value\ncan be raised along with the identifying string which can be passed to\nthe handler.\n\nNote: Messages to exceptions are not part of the Python API.  Their\n  contents may change from one version of Python to the next without\n  warning and should not be relied on by code which will run under\n  multiple versions of the interpreter.\n\nSee also the description of the "try" statement in section *The try\nstatement* and "raise" statement in section *The raise statement*.\n\n-[ Footnotes ]-\n\n[1] This limitation occurs because the code that is executed by\n    these operations is not available at the time the module is\n    compiled.\n',
 'exec': u'\nThe "exec" statement\n********************\n\n   exec_stmt ::= "exec" or_expr ["in" expression ["," expression]]\n\nThis statement supports dynamic execution of Python code.  The first\nexpression should evaluate to either a Unicode string, a *Latin-1*\nencoded string, an open file object, a code object, or a tuple.  If it\nis a string, the string is parsed as a suite of Python statements\nwhich is then executed (unless a syntax error occurs). [1] If it is an\nopen file, the file is parsed until EOF and executed. If it is a code\nobject, it is simply executed.  For the interpretation of a tuple, see\nbelow.  In all cases, the code that\'s executed is expected to be valid\nas file input (see section *File input*).  Be aware that the "return"\nand "yield" statements may not be used outside of function definitions\neven within the context of code passed to the "exec" statement.\n\nIn all cases, if the optional parts are omitted, the code is executed\nin the current scope.  If only the first expression after "in" is\nspecified, it should be a dictionary, which will be used for both the\nglobal and the local variables.  If two expressions are given, they\nare used for the global and local variables, respectively. If\nprovided, *locals* can be any mapping object. Remember that at module\nlevel, globals and locals are the same dictionary. If two separate\nobjects are given as *globals* and *locals*, the code will be executed\nas if it were embedded in a class definition.\n\nThe first expression may also be a tuple of length 2 or 3.  In this\ncase, the optional parts must be omitted.  The form "exec(expr,\nglobals)" is equivalent to "exec expr in globals", while the form\n"exec(expr, globals, locals)" is equivalent to "exec expr in globals,\nlocals".  The tuple form of "exec" provides compatibility with Python\n3, where "exec" is a function rather than a statement.\n\nChanged in version 2.4: Formerly, *locals* was required to be a\ndictionary.\n\nAs a side effect, an implementation may insert additional keys into\nthe dictionaries given besides those corresponding to variable names\nset by the executed code.  For example, the current implementation may\nadd a reference to the dictionary of the built-in module "__builtin__"\nunder the key "__builtins__" (!).\n\n**Programmer\'s hints:** dynamic evaluation of expressions is supported\nby the built-in function "eval()".  The built-in functions "globals()"\nand "locals()" return the current global and local dictionary,\nrespectively, which may be useful to pass around for use by "exec".\n\n-[ Footnotes ]-\n\n[1] Note that the parser only accepts the Unix-style end of line\n    convention. If you are reading the code from a file, make sure to\n    use *universal newlines* mode to convert Windows or Mac-style\n    newlines.\n',
 'execmodel': u'\nExecution model\n***************\n\n\nNaming and binding\n==================\n\n*Names* refer to objects.  Names are introduced by name binding\noperations. Each occurrence of a name in the program text refers to\nthe *binding* of that name established in the innermost function block\ncontaining the use.\n\nA *block* is a piece of Python program text that is executed as a\nunit. The following are blocks: a module, a function body, and a class\ndefinition. Each command typed interactively is a block.  A script\nfile (a file given as standard input to the interpreter or specified\non the interpreter command line the first argument) is a code block.\nA script command (a command specified on the interpreter command line\nwith the \'**-c**\' option) is a code block.  The file read by the\nbuilt-in function "execfile()" is a code block.  The string argument\npassed to the built-in function "eval()" and to the "exec" statement\nis a code block. The expression read and evaluated by the built-in\nfunction "input()" is a code block.\n\nA code block is executed in an *execution frame*.  A frame contains\nsome administrative information (used for debugging) and determines\nwhere and how execution continues after the code block\'s execution has\ncompleted.\n\nA *scope* defines the visibility of a name within a block.  If a local\nvariable is defined in a block, its scope includes that block.  If the\ndefinition occurs in a function block, the scope extends to any blocks\ncontained within the defining one, unless a contained block introduces\na different binding for the name.  The scope of names defined in a\nclass block is limited to the class block; it does not extend to the\ncode blocks of methods -- this includes generator expressions since\nthey are implemented using a function scope.  This means that the\nfollowing will fail:\n\n   class A:\n       a = 42\n       b = list(a + i for i in range(10))\n\nWhen a name is used in a code block, it is resolved using the nearest\nenclosing scope.  The set of all such scopes visible to a code block\nis called the block\'s *environment*.\n\nIf a name is bound in a block, it is a local variable of that block.\nIf a name is bound at the module level, it is a global variable.  (The\nvariables of the module code block are local and global.)  If a\nvariable is used in a code block but not defined there, it is a *free\nvariable*.\n\nWhen a name is not found at all, a "NameError" exception is raised.\nIf the name refers to a local variable that has not been bound, a\n"UnboundLocalError" exception is raised.  "UnboundLocalError" is a\nsubclass of "NameError".\n\nThe following constructs bind names: formal parameters to functions,\n"import" statements, class and function definitions (these bind the\nclass or function name in the defining block), and targets that are\nidentifiers if occurring in an assignment, "for" loop header, in the\nsecond position of an "except" clause header or after "as" in a "with"\nstatement.  The "import" statement of the form "from ... import *"\nbinds all names defined in the imported module, except those beginning\nwith an underscore.  This form may only be used at the module level.\n\nA target occurring in a "del" statement is also considered bound for\nthis purpose (though the actual semantics are to unbind the name).  It\nis illegal to unbind a name that is referenced by an enclosing scope;\nthe compiler will report a "SyntaxError".\n\nEach assignment or import statement occurs within a block defined by a\nclass or function definition or at the module level (the top-level\ncode block).\n\nIf a name binding operation occurs anywhere within a code block, all\nuses of the name within the block are treated as references to the\ncurrent block.  This can lead to errors when a name is used within a\nblock before it is bound. This rule is subtle.  Python lacks\ndeclarations and allows name binding operations to occur anywhere\nwithin a code block.  The local variables of a code block can be\ndetermined by scanning the entire text of the block for name bindi
 'exprlists': u'\nExpression lists\n****************\n\n   expression_list ::= expression ( "," expression )* [","]\n\nAn expression list containing at least one comma yields a tuple.  The\nlength of the tuple is the number of expressions in the list.  The\nexpressions are evaluated from left to right.\n\nThe trailing comma is required only to create a single tuple (a.k.a. a\n*singleton*); it is optional in all other cases.  A single expression\nwithout a trailing comma doesn\'t create a tuple, but rather yields the\nvalue of that expression. (To create an empty tuple, use an empty pair\nof parentheses: "()".)\n',
 'floating': u'\nFloating point literals\n***********************\n\nFloating point literals are described by the following lexical\ndefinitions:\n\n   floatnumber   ::= pointfloat | exponentfloat\n   pointfloat    ::= [intpart] fraction | intpart "."\n   exponentfloat ::= (intpart | pointfloat) exponent\n   intpart       ::= digit+\n   fraction      ::= "." digit+\n   exponent      ::= ("e" | "E") ["+" | "-"] digit+\n\nNote that the integer and exponent parts of floating point numbers can\nlook like octal integers, but are interpreted using radix 10.  For\nexample, "077e010" is legal, and denotes the same number as "77e10".\nThe allowed range of floating point literals is implementation-\ndependent. Some examples of floating point literals:\n\n   3.14    10.    .001    1e100    3.14e-10    0e0\n\nNote that numeric literals do not include a sign; a phrase like "-1"\nis actually an expression composed of the unary operator "-" and the\nliteral "1".\n',
 'for': u'\nThe "for" statement\n*******************\n\nThe "for" statement is used to iterate over the elements of a sequence\n(such as a string, tuple or list) or other iterable object:\n\n   for_stmt ::= "for" target_list "in" expression_list ":" suite\n                ["else" ":" suite]\n\nThe expression list is evaluated once; it should yield an iterable\nobject.  An iterator is created for the result of the\n"expression_list".  The suite is then executed once for each item\nprovided by the iterator, in the order of ascending indices.  Each\nitem in turn is assigned to the target list using the standard rules\nfor assignments, and then the suite is executed.  When the items are\nexhausted (which is immediately when the sequence is empty), the suite\nin the "else" clause, if present, is executed, and the loop\nterminates.\n\nA "break" statement executed in the first suite terminates the loop\nwithout executing the "else" clause\'s suite.  A "continue" statement\nexecuted in the first suite skips the rest of the suite and continues\nwith the next item, or with the "else" clause if there was no next\nitem.\n\nThe suite may assign to the variable(s) in the target list; this does\nnot affect the next item assigned to it.\n\nThe target list is not deleted when the loop is finished, but if the\nsequence is empty, it will not have been assigned to at all by the\nloop.  Hint: the built-in function "range()" returns a sequence of\nintegers suitable to emulate the effect of Pascal\'s "for i := a to b\ndo"; e.g., "range(3)" returns the list "[0, 1, 2]".\n\nNote: There is a subtlety when the sequence is being modified by the\n  loop (this can only occur for mutable sequences, i.e. lists). An\n  internal counter is used to keep track of which item is used next,\n  and this is incremented on each iteration.  When this counter has\n  reached the length of the sequence the loop terminates.  This means\n  that if the suite deletes the current (or a previous) item from the\n  sequence, the next item will be skipped (since it gets the index of\n  the current item which has already been treated).  Likewise, if the\n  suite inserts an item in the sequence before the current item, the\n  current item will be treated again the next time through the loop.\n  This can lead to nasty bugs that can be avoided by making a\n  temporary copy using a slice of the whole sequence, e.g.,\n\n     for x in a[:]:\n         if x < 0: a.remove(x)\n',
 'formatstrings': u'\nFormat String Syntax\n********************\n\nThe "str.format()" method and the "Formatter" class share the same\nsyntax for format strings (although in the case of "Formatter",\nsubclasses can define their own format string syntax).\n\nFormat strings contain "replacement fields" surrounded by curly braces\n"{}". Anything that is not contained in braces is considered literal\ntext, which is copied unchanged to the output.  If you need to include\na brace character in the literal text, it can be escaped by doubling:\n"{{" and "}}".\n\nThe grammar for a replacement field is as follows:\n\n      replacement_field ::= "{" [field_name] ["!" conversion] [":" format_spec] "}"\n      field_name        ::= arg_name ("." attribute_name | "[" element_index "]")*\n      arg_name          ::= [identifier | integer]\n      attribute_name    ::= identifier\n      element_index     ::= integer | index_string\n      index_string      ::= <any source character except "]"> +\n      conversion        ::= "r" | "s"\n      format_spec       ::= <described in the next section>\n\nIn less formal terms, the replacement field can start with a\n*field_name* that specifies the object whose value is to be formatted\nand inserted into the output instead of the replacement field. The\n*field_name* is optionally followed by a  *conversion* field, which is\npreceded by an exclamation point "\'!\'", and a *format_spec*, which is\npreceded by a colon "\':\'".  These specify a non-default format for the\nreplacement value.\n\nSee also the *Format Specification Mini-Language* section.\n\nThe *field_name* itself begins with an *arg_name* that is either a\nnumber or a keyword.  If it\'s a number, it refers to a positional\nargument, and if it\'s a keyword, it refers to a named keyword\nargument.  If the numerical arg_names in a format string are 0, 1, 2,\n... in sequence, they can all be omitted (not just some) and the\nnumbers 0, 1, 2, ... will be automatically inserted in that order.\nBecause *arg_name* is not quote-delimited, it is not possible to\nspecify arbitrary dictionary keys (e.g., the strings "\'10\'" or\n"\':-]\'") within a format string. The *arg_name* can be followed by any\nnumber of index or attribute expressions. An expression of the form\n"\'.name\'" selects the named attribute using "getattr()", while an\nexpression of the form "\'[index]\'" does an index lookup using\n"__getitem__()".\n\nChanged in version 2.7: The positional argument specifiers can be\nomitted, so "\'{} {}\'" is equivalent to "\'{0} {1}\'".\n\nSome simple format string examples:\n\n   "First, thou shalt count to {0}" # References first positional argument\n   "Bring me a {}"                  # Implicitly references the first positional argument\n   "From {} to {}"                  # Same as "From {0} to {1}"\n   "My quest is {name}"             # References keyword argument \'name\'\n   "Weight in tons {0.weight}"      # \'weight\' attribute of first positional arg\n   "Units destroyed: {players[0]}"  # First element of keyword argument \'players\'.\n\nThe *conversion* field causes a type coercion before formatting.\nNormally, the job of formatting a value is done by the "__format__()"\nmethod of the value itself.  However, in some cases it is desirable to\nforce a type to be formatted as a string, overriding its own\ndefinition of formatting.  By converting the value to a string before\ncalling "__format__()", the normal formatting logic is bypassed.\n\nTwo conversion flags are currently supported: "\'!s\'" which calls\n"str()" on the value, and "\'!r\'" which calls "repr()".\n\nSome examples:\n\n   "Harold\'s a clever {0!s}"        # Calls str() on the argument first\n   "Bring out the holy {name!r}"    # Calls repr() on the argument first\n\nThe *format_spec* field contains a specification of how the value\nshould be presented, including such details as field width, alignment,\npadding, decimal precision and so on.  Each value type can define its\nown "formatting mini-language" or interpretation of the *format_spec*.\n\nMost built-in types suppor
 'function': u'\nFunction definitions\n********************\n\nA function definition defines a user-defined function object (see\nsection *The standard type hierarchy*):\n\n   decorated      ::= decorators (classdef | funcdef)\n   decorators     ::= decorator+\n   decorator      ::= "@" dotted_name ["(" [argument_list [","]] ")"] NEWLINE\n   funcdef        ::= "def" funcname "(" [parameter_list] ")" ":" suite\n   dotted_name    ::= identifier ("." identifier)*\n   parameter_list ::= (defparameter ",")*\n                      (  "*" identifier ["," "**" identifier]\n                      | "**" identifier\n                      | defparameter [","] )\n   defparameter   ::= parameter ["=" expression]\n   sublist        ::= parameter ("," parameter)* [","]\n   parameter      ::= identifier | "(" sublist ")"\n   funcname       ::= identifier\n\nA function definition is an executable statement.  Its execution binds\nthe function name in the current local namespace to a function object\n(a wrapper around the executable code for the function).  This\nfunction object contains a reference to the current global namespace\nas the global namespace to be used when the function is called.\n\nThe function definition does not execute the function body; this gets\nexecuted only when the function is called. [3]\n\nA function definition may be wrapped by one or more *decorator*\nexpressions. Decorator expressions are evaluated when the function is\ndefined, in the scope that contains the function definition.  The\nresult must be a callable, which is invoked with the function object\nas the only argument. The returned value is bound to the function name\ninstead of the function object.  Multiple decorators are applied in\nnested fashion. For example, the following code:\n\n   @f1(arg)\n   @f2\n   def func(): pass\n\nis equivalent to:\n\n   def func(): pass\n   func = f1(arg)(f2(func))\n\nWhen one or more top-level *parameters* have the form *parameter* "="\n*expression*, the function is said to have "default parameter values."\nFor a parameter with a default value, the corresponding *argument* may\nbe omitted from a call, in which case the parameter\'s default value is\nsubstituted.  If a parameter has a default value, all following\nparameters must also have a default value --- this is a syntactic\nrestriction that is not expressed by the grammar.\n\n**Default parameter values are evaluated when the function definition\nis executed.**  This means that the expression is evaluated once, when\nthe function is defined, and that the same "pre-computed" value is\nused for each call.  This is especially important to understand when a\ndefault parameter is a mutable object, such as a list or a dictionary:\nif the function modifies the object (e.g. by appending an item to a\nlist), the default value is in effect modified. This is generally not\nwhat was intended.  A way around this  is to use "None" as the\ndefault, and explicitly test for it in the body of the function, e.g.:\n\n   def whats_on_the_telly(penguin=None):\n       if penguin is None:\n           penguin = []\n       penguin.append("property of the zoo")\n       return penguin\n\nFunction call semantics are described in more detail in section\n*Calls*. A function call always assigns values to all parameters\nmentioned in the parameter list, either from position arguments, from\nkeyword arguments, or from default values.  If the form\n""*identifier"" is present, it is initialized to a tuple receiving any\nexcess positional parameters, defaulting to the empty tuple.  If the\nform ""**identifier"" is present, it is initialized to a new\ndictionary receiving any excess keyword arguments, defaulting to a new\nempty dictionary.\n\nIt is also possible to create anonymous functions (functions not bound\nto a name), for immediate use in expressions.  This uses lambda\nexpressions, described in section *Lambdas*.  Note that the lambda\nexpression is merely a shorthand for a simplified function definition;\na function defined in a ""def"" statement can be passed around or\nassigned to another na
 'global': u'\nThe "global" statement\n**********************\n\n   global_stmt ::= "global" identifier ("," identifier)*\n\nThe "global" statement is a declaration which holds for the entire\ncurrent code block.  It means that the listed identifiers are to be\ninterpreted as globals.  It would be impossible to assign to a global\nvariable without "global", although free variables may refer to\nglobals without being declared global.\n\nNames listed in a "global" statement must not be used in the same code\nblock textually preceding that "global" statement.\n\nNames listed in a "global" statement must not be defined as formal\nparameters or in a "for" loop control target, "class" definition,\nfunction definition, or "import" statement.\n\n**CPython implementation detail:** The current implementation does not\nenforce the latter two restrictions, but programs should not abuse\nthis freedom, as future implementations may enforce them or silently\nchange the meaning of the program.\n\n**Programmer\'s note:** the "global" is a directive to the parser.  It\napplies only to code parsed at the same time as the "global"\nstatement. In particular, a "global" statement contained in an "exec"\nstatement does not affect the code block *containing* the "exec"\nstatement, and code contained in an "exec" statement is unaffected by\n"global" statements in the code containing the "exec" statement.  The\nsame applies to the "eval()", "execfile()" and "compile()" functions.\n',

The\nstatement comes in two forms differing on whether it uses the "from"\nkeyword. The first form (without "from") repeats these steps for each\nidentifier in the list. The form with "from" performs step (1) once,\nand then performs step (2) repeatedly.\n\nTo understand how step (1) occurs, one must first understand how\nPython handles hierarchical naming of modules. To help organize\nmodules and provide a hierarchy in naming, Python has a concept of\npackages. A package can contain other packages and modules while\nmodules cannot contain other modules or packages. From a file system\nperspective, packages are directories and modules are files.\n\nOnce the name of the module is known (unless otherwise specified, the\nterm "module" will refer to both packages and modules), searching for\nthe module or package can begin. The first place checked is\n"sys.modules", the cache of all modules that have been imported\npreviously. If the module is found there then it is used in step (2)\nof import.\n\nIf the module is not found in the cache, then "sys.meta_path" is\nsearched (the specification for "sys.meta_path" can be found in **PEP\n302**). The object is a list of *finder* objects which are queried in\norder as to whether they know how to load the module by calling their\n"find_module()" method with the name of the module. If the module\nhappens to be contained within a package (as denoted by the existence\nof a dot in the name), then a second argument to "find_module()" is\ngiven as the value of the "__path__" attribute from the parent package\n(everything up to the last dot in the name of the module being\nimported). If a finder can find the module it returns a *loader*\n(discussed later) or returns "None".\n\nIf none of the finders on "sys.meta_path" are able to find the module\nthen some implicitly defined finders are queried. Implementations of\nPython vary in what implicit meta path finders are defined. The one\nthey all do define, though, is one that handles "sys.path_hooks",\n"sys.path_importer_cache", and "sys.path".\n\nThe implicit finder searches for the requested module in the "paths"\nspecified in one of two places ("paths" do not have to be file system\npaths). If the module being imported is supposed to be contained\nwithin a package then the second argument passed to "find_module()",\n"__path__" on the parent package, is used as the source of paths. If\nthe module is not contained in a package then "sys.path" is used as\nthe source of paths.\n\nOnce the source of paths is chosen it is iterated over to find a\nfinder that can handle that path. The dict at\n"sys.path_importer_cache" caches finders for paths and is checked for\na finder. If the path does not have a finder cached then\n"sys.path_hooks" is searched by calling each object in the list with a\nsingle argument of the path, returning a finder or raises\n"ImportError". If a finder is returned then it is cached in\n"sys.path_importer_cache" and then used for that path entry. If no\nfinder can be found but the path exists then a value of "None" is\nstored in "sys.path_importer_cache" to signify that an implicit, file-\nbased finder that handles modules stored as individual files should be\nused for that path.

Also unlike C, expressions like "a < b < c" have the\ninterpretation that is conventional in mathematics:\n\n   comparison    ::= or_expr ( comp_operator or_expr )*\n   comp_operator ::= "<" | ">" | "==" | ">=" | "<=" | "<>" | "!="\n                     | "is" ["not"] | ["not"] "in"\n\nComparisons yield boolean values: "True" or "False".\n\nComparisons can be chained arbitrarily, e.g., "x < y <= z" is\nequivalent to "x < y and y <= z", except that "y" is evaluated only\nonce (but in both cases "z" is not evaluated at all when "x < y" is\nfound to be false).\n\nFormally, if *a*, *b*, *c*, ..., *y*, *z* are expressions and *op1*,\n*op2*, ..., *opN* are comparison operators, then "a op1 b op2 c ... y\nopN z" is equivalent to "a op1 b and b op2 c and ... y opN z", except\nthat each expression is evaluated at most once.\n\nNote that "a op1 b op2 c" doesn\'t imply any kind of comparison between\n*a* and *c*, so that, e.g., "x < y > z" is perfectly legal (though\nperhaps not pretty).\n\nThe forms "<>" and "!=" are equivalent; for consistency with C, "!="\nis preferred; where "!=" is mentioned below "<>" is also accepted.\nThe "<>" spelling is considered obsolescent.\n\nThe operators "<", ">", "==", ">=", "<=", and "!=" compare the values\nof two objects.  The objects need not have the same type. If both are\nnumbers, they are converted to a common type.  Otherwise, objects of\ndifferent types *always* compare unequal, and are ordered consistently\nbut arbitrarily. You can control comparison behavior of objects of\nnon-built-in types by defining a "__cmp__" method or rich comparison\nmethods like "__gt__", described in section *Special method names*.\n\n(This unusual definition of comparison was used to simplify the\ndefinition of operations like sorting and the "in" and "not in"\noperators. In the future, the comparison rules for objects of\ndifferent types are likely to change.)\n\nComparison of objects of the same type depends on the type:\n\n* Numbers are compared arithmetically.\n\n* Strings are compared lexicographically using the numeric\n  equivalents (the result of the built-in function "ord()") of their\n  characters. Unicode and 8-bit strings are fully interoperable in\n  this behavior. [4]\n\n* Tuples and lists are compared lexicographically using comparison\n  of corresponding elements.  This means that to compare equal, each\n  element must compare equal and the two sequences must be of the same\n  type and have the same length.\n\n  If not equal, the sequences are ordered the same as their first\n  differing elements.  For example, "cmp([1,2,x], [1,2,y])" returns\n  the same as "cmp(x,y)".  If the corresponding element does not\n  exist, the shorter sequence is ordered first (for example, "[1,2] <\n  [1,2,3]").\n\n* Mappings (dictionaries) compare equal if and only if their sorted\n  (key, value) lists compare equal. [5] Outcomes other than equality\n  are resolved consistently, but are not otherwise defined. [6]\n\n* Most other objects of built-in types compare unequal unless they\n  are the same object; the choice whether one object is considered\n  smaller or larger than another one is made arbitrarily but\n  consistently within one execution of a program.\n\nThe operators "in" and "not in" test for collection membership.  "x in\ns" evaluates to true if *x* is a member of the collection *s*, and\nfalse otherwise.  "x not in s" returns the negation of "x in s". The\ncollection membership test has traditionally been bound to sequences;\nan object is a member of a collection if the collection is a sequence\nand contains an element equal to that object.  However, it make sense\nfor many other object types to support membership tests without being\na sequence.  In particular, dictionaries (for keys) and sets support\nmembership testing.\n\nFor the list and tuple types, "x in y" is true if and only if there\nexists an index *i* such
 'integers': u'\nInteger and long integer literals\n*********************************\n\nInteger and long integer literals are described by the following\nlexical definitions:\n\n   longinteger    ::= integer ("l" | "L")\n   integer        ::= decimalinteger | octinteger | hexinteger | bininteger\n   decimalinteger ::= nonzerodigit digit* | "0"\n   octinteger     ::= "0" ("o" | "O") octdigit+ | "0" octdigit+\n   hexinteger     ::= "0" ("x" | "X") hexdigit+\n   bininteger     ::= "0" ("b" | "B") bindigit+\n   nonzerodigit   ::= "1"..."9"\n   octdigit       ::= "0"..."7"\n   bindigit       ::= "0" | "1"\n   hexdigit       ::= digit | "a"..."f" | "A"..."F"\n\nAlthough both lower case "\'l\'" and upper case "\'L\'" are allowed as\nsuffix for long integers, it is strongly recommended to always use\n"\'L\'", since the letter "\'l\'" looks too much like the digit "\'1\'".\n\nPlain integer literals that are above the largest representable plain\ninteger (e.g., 2147483647 when using 32-bit arithmetic) are accepted\nas if they were long integers instead. [1]  There is no limit for long\ninteger literals apart from what can be stored in available memory.\n\nSome examples of plain integer literals (first row) and long integer\nliterals (second and third rows):\n\n   7     2147483647                        0177\n   3L    79228162514264337593543950336L    0377L   0x100000000L\n         79228162514264337593543950336             0xdeadbeef\n',
 'lambda': u'\nLambdas\n*******\n\n   lambda_expr     ::= "lambda" [parameter_list]: expression\n   old_lambda_expr ::= "lambda" [parameter_list]: old_expression\n\nLambda expressions (sometimes called lambda forms) have the same\nsyntactic position as expressions.  They are a shorthand to create\nanonymous functions; the expression "lambda arguments: expression"\nyields a function object.  The unnamed object behaves like a function\nobject defined with\n\n   def name(arguments):\n       return expression\n\nSee section *Function definitions* for the syntax of parameter lists.\nNote that functions created with lambda expressions cannot contain\nstatements.\n',
 'lists': u'\nList displays\n*************\n\nA list display is a possibly empty series of expressions enclosed in\nsquare brackets:\n\n   list_display        ::= "[" [expression_list | list_comprehension] "]"\n   list_comprehension  ::= expression list_for\n   list_for            ::= "for" target_list "in" old_expression_list [list_iter]\n   old_expression_list ::= old_expression [("," old_expression)+ [","]]\n   old_expression      ::= or_test | old_lambda_expr\n   list_iter           ::= list_for | list_if\n   list_if             ::= "if" old_expression [list_iter]\n\nA list display yields a new list object.  Its contents are specified\nby providing either a list of expressions or a list comprehension.\nWhen a comma-separated list of expressions is supplied, its elements\nare evaluated from left to right and placed into the list object in\nthat order.  When a list comprehension is supplied, it consists of a\nsingle expression followed by at least one "for" clause and zero or\nmore "for" or "if" clauses.  In this case, the elements of the new\nlist are those that would be produced by considering each of the "for"\nor "if" clauses a block, nesting from left to right, and evaluating\nthe expression to produce a list element each time the innermost block\nis reached [1].\n',
 'naming': u'\nNaming and binding\n******************\n\n*Names* refer to objects.  Names are introduced by name binding\noperations. Each occurrence of a name in the program text refers to\nthe *binding* of that name established in the innermost function block\ncontaining the use.\n\nA *block* is a piece of Python program text that is executed as a\nunit. The following are blocks: a module, a function body, and a class\ndefinition. Each command typed interactively is a block.  A script\nfile (a file given as standard input to the interpreter or specified\non the interpreter command line the first argument) is a code block.\nA script command (a command specified on the interpreter command line\nwith the \'**-c**\' option) is a code block.  The file read by the\nbuilt-in function "execfile()" is a code block.  The string argument\npassed to the built-in function "eval()" and to the "exec" statement\nis a code block. The expression read and evaluated by the built-in\nfunction "input()" is a code block.\n\nA code block is executed in an *execution frame*.  A frame contains\nsome administrative information (used for debugging) and determines\nwhere and how execution continues after the code block\'s execution has\ncompleted.\n\nA *scope* defines the visibility of a name within a block.  If a local\nvariable is defined in a block, its scope includes that block.  If the\ndefinition occurs in a function block, the scope extends to any blocks\ncontained within the defining one, unless a contained block introduces\na different binding for the name.  The scope of names defined in a\nclass block is limited to the class block; it does not extend to the\ncode blocks of methods -- this includes generator expressions since\nthey are implemented using a function scope.  This means that the\nfollowing will fail:\n\n   class A:\n       a = 42\n       b = list(a + i for i in range(10))\n\nWhen a name is used in a code block, it is resolved using the nearest\nenclosing scope.  The set of all such scopes visible to a code block\nis called the block\'s *environment*.\n\nIf a name is bound in a block, it is a local variable of that block.\nIf a name is bound at the module level, it is a global variable.  (The\nvariables of the module code block are local and global.)  If a\nvariable is used in a code block but not defined there, it is a *free\nvariable*.\n\nWhen a name is not found at all, a "NameError" exception is raised.\nIf the name refers to a local variable that has not been bound, a\n"UnboundLocalError" exception is raised.  "UnboundLocalError" is a\nsubclass of "NameError".\n\nThe following constructs bind names: formal parameters to functions,\n"import" statements, class and function definitions (these bind the\nclass or function name in the defining block), and targets that are\nidentifiers if occurring in an assignment, "for" loop header, in the\nsecond position of an "except" clause header or after "as" in a "with"\nstatement.  The "import" statement of the form "from ... import *"\nbinds all names defined in the imported module, except those beginning\nwith an underscore.  This form may only be used at the module level.\n\nA target occurring in a "del" statement is also considered bound for\nthis purpose (though the actual semantics are to unbind the name).  It\nis illegal to unbind a name that is referenced by an enclosing scope;\nthe compiler will report a "SyntaxError".\n\nEach assignment or import statement occurs within a block defined by a\nclass or function definition or at the module level (the top-level\ncode block).\n\nIf a name binding operation occurs anywhere within a code block, all\nuses of the name within the block are treated as references to the\ncurrent block.  This can lead to errors when a name is used within a\nblock before it is bound. This rule is subtle.  Python lacks\ndeclarations and allows name binding operations to occur anywhere\nwithin a code block.  The local variables of a code block can be\ndetermined by scanning the entire text of the block for name binding\noperations.\n\nIf the global statemen
 'numbers': u'\nNumeric literals\n****************\n\nThere are four types of numeric literals: plain integers, long\nintegers, floating point numbers, and imaginary numbers.  There are no\ncomplex literals (complex numbers can be formed by adding a real\nnumber and an imaginary number).\n\nNote that numeric literals do not include a sign; a phrase like "-1"\nis actually an expression composed of the unary operator \'"-"\' and the\nliteral "1".\n',
 'numeric-types': u'\nEmulating numeric types\n***********************\n\nThe following methods can be defined to emulate numeric objects.\nMethods corresponding to operations that are not supported by the\nparticular kind of number implemented (e.g., bitwise operations for\nnon-integral numbers) should be left undefined.\n\nobject.__add__(self, other)\nobject.__sub__(self, other)\nobject.__mul__(self, other)\nobject.__floordiv__(self, other)\nobject.__mod__(self, other)\nobject.__divmod__(self, other)\nobject.__pow__(self, other[, modulo])\nobject.__lshift__(self, other)\nobject.__rshift__(self, other)\nobject.__and__(self, other)\nobject.__xor__(self, other)\nobject.__or__(self, other)\n\n   These methods are called to implement the binary arithmetic\n   operations ("+", "-", "*", "//", "%", "divmod()", "pow()", "**",\n   "<<", ">>", "&", "^", "|").  For instance, to evaluate the\n   expression "x + y", where *x* is an instance of a class that has an\n   "__add__()" method, "x.__add__(y)" is called.  The "__divmod__()"\n   method should be the equivalent to using "__floordiv__()" and\n   "__mod__()"; it should not be related to "__truediv__()" (described\n   below).  Note that "__pow__()" should be defined to accept an\n   optional third argument if the ternary version of the built-in\n   "pow()" function is to be supported.\n\n   If one of those methods does not support the operation with the\n   supplied arguments, it should return "NotImplemented".\n\nobject.__div__(self, other)\nobject.__truediv__(self, other)\n\n   The division operator ("/") is implemented by these methods.  The\n   "__truediv__()" method is used when "__future__.division" is in\n   effect, otherwise "__div__()" is used.  If only one of these two\n   methods is defined, the object will not support division in the\n   alternate context; "TypeError" will be raised instead.\n\nobject.__radd__(self, other)\nobject.__rsub__(self, other)\nobject.__rmul__(self, other)\nobject.__rdiv__(self, other)\nobject.__rtruediv__(self, other)\nobject.__rfloordiv__(self, other)\nobject.__rmod__(self, other)\nobject.__rdivmod__(self, other)\nobject.__rpow__(self, other)\nobject.__rlshift__(self, other)\nobject.__rrshift__(self, other)\nobject.__rand__(self, other)\nobject.__rxor__(self, other)\nobject.__ror__(self, other)\n\n   These methods are called to implement the binary arithmetic\n   operations ("+", "-", "*", "/", "%", "divmod()", "pow()", "**",\n   "<<", ">>", "&", "^", "|") with reflected (swapped) operands.\n   These functions are only called if the left operand does not\n   support the corresponding operation and the operands are of\n   different types. [2] For instance, to evaluate the expression "x -\n   y", where *y* is an instance of a class that has an "__rsub__()"\n   method, "y.__rsub__(x)" is called if "x.__sub__(y)" returns\n   *NotImplemented*.\n\n   Note that ternary "pow()" will not try calling "__rpow__()" (the\n   coercion rules would become too complicated).\n\n   Note: If the right operand\'s type is a subclass of the left\n     operand\'s type and that subclass provides the reflected method\n     for the operation, this method will be called before the left\n     operand\'s non-reflected method.  This behavior allows subclasses\n     to override their ancestors\' operations.\n\nobject.__iadd__(self, other)\nobject.__isub__(self, other)\nobject.__imul__(self, other)\nobject.__idiv__(self, other)\nobject.__itruediv__(self, other)\nobject.__ifloordiv__(self, other)\nobject.__imod__(self, other)\nobject.__ipow__(self, other[, modulo])\nobject.__ilshift__(self, other)\nobject.__irshift__(self, other)\nobject.__iand__(self, other)\nobject.__ixor__(self, other)\nobject.__ior__(self, other)\n\n   These methods are called to implement the augmented arithmetic\n   assignments ("+=", "-=", "*=", "/=", "//=", "%=", "**=", "<<=",\n   ">>=", "&=", "^=", "|=").  These methods should attempt to do the\n   operation in-place (modifying *self*) and return the result (which\n   could be, but does not have to be, *self*).  If a specific method\n   is not de
 'objects': u'\nObjects, values and types\n*************************\n\n*Objects* are Python\'s abstraction for data.  All data in a Python\nprogram is represented by objects or by relations between objects. (In\na sense, and in conformance to Von Neumann\'s model of a "stored\nprogram computer," code is also represented by objects.)\n\nEvery object has an identity, a type and a value.  An object\'s\n*identity* never changes once it has been created; you may think of it\nas the object\'s address in memory.  The \'"is"\' operator compares the\nidentity of two objects; the "id()" function returns an integer\nrepresenting its identity (currently implemented as its address). An\nobject\'s *type* is also unchangeable. [1] An object\'s type determines\nthe operations that the object supports (e.g., "does it have a\nlength?") and also defines the possible values for objects of that\ntype.  The "type()" function returns an object\'s type (which is an\nobject itself).  The *value* of some objects can change.  Objects\nwhose value can change are said to be *mutable*; objects whose value\nis unchangeable once they are created are called *immutable*. (The\nvalue of an immutable container object that contains a reference to a\nmutable object can change when the latter\'s value is changed; however\nthe container is still considered immutable, because the collection of\nobjects it contains cannot be changed.  So, immutability is not\nstrictly the same as having an unchangeable value, it is more subtle.)\nAn object\'s mutability is determined by its type; for instance,\nnumbers, strings and tuples are immutable, while dictionaries and\nlists are mutable.\n\nObjects are never explicitly destroyed; however, when they become\nunreachable they may be garbage-collected.  An implementation is\nallowed to postpone garbage collection or omit it altogether --- it is\na matter of implementation quality how garbage collection is\nimplemented, as long as no objects are collected that are still\nreachable.\n\n**CPython implementation detail:** CPython currently uses a reference-\ncounting scheme with (optional) delayed detection of cyclically linked\ngarbage, which collects most objects as soon as they become\nunreachable, but is not guaranteed to collect garbage containing\ncircular references.  See the documentation of the "gc" module for\ninformation on controlling the collection of cyclic garbage. Other\nimplementations act differently and CPython may change. Do not depend\non immediate finalization of objects when they become unreachable (ex:\nalways close files).\n\nNote that the use of the implementation\'s tracing or debugging\nfacilities may keep objects alive that would normally be collectable.\nAlso note that catching an exception with a \'"try"..."except"\'\nstatement may keep objects alive.\n\nSome objects contain references to "external" resources such as open\nfiles or windows.  It is understood that these resources are freed\nwhen the object is garbage-collected, but since garbage collection is\nnot guaranteed to happen, such objects also provide an explicit way to\nrelease the external resource, usually a "close()" method. Programs\nare strongly recommended to explicitly close such objects.  The\n\'"try"..."finally"\' statement provides a convenient way to do this.\n\nSome objects contain references to other objects; these are called\n*containers*. Examples of containers are tuples, lists and\ndictionaries.  The references are part of a container\'s value.  In\nmost cases, when we talk about the value of a container, we imply the\nvalues, not the identities of the contained objects; however, when we\ntalk about the mutability of a container, only the identities of the\nimmediately contained objects are implied.  So, if an immutable\ncontainer (like a tuple) contains a reference to a mutable object, its\nvalue changes if that mutable object is changed.\n\nTypes affect almost all aspects of object behavior.  Even the\nimportance of object identity is affected in some sense: for immutable\ntypes, operations that compute new values may

 'pass': u'\nThe "pass" statement\n********************\n\n   pass_stmt ::= "pass"\n\n"pass" is a null operation --- when it is executed, nothing happens.\nIt is useful as a placeholder when a statement is required\nsyntactically, but no code needs to be executed, for example:\n\n   def f(arg): pass    # a function that does nothing (yet)\n\n   class C: pass       # a class with no methods (yet)\n',
 'power': u'\nThe power operator\n******************\n\nThe power operator binds more tightly than unary operators on its\nleft; it binds less tightly than unary operators on its right.  The\nsyntax is:\n\n   power ::= primary ["**" u_expr]\n\nThus, in an unparenthesized sequence of power and unary operators, the\noperators are evaluated from right to left (this does not constrain\nthe evaluation order for the operands): "-1**2" results in "-1".\n\nThe power operator has the same semantics as the built-in "pow()"\nfunction, when called with two arguments: it yields its left argument\nraised to the power of its right argument.  The numeric arguments are\nfirst converted to a common type.  The result type is that of the\narguments after coercion.\n\nWith mixed operand types, the coercion rules for binary arithmetic\noperators apply. For int and long int operands, the result has the\nsame type as the operands (after coercion) unless the second argument\nis negative; in that case, all arguments are converted to float and a\nfloat result is delivered. For example, "10**2" returns "100", but\n"10**-2" returns "0.01". (This last feature was added in Python 2.2.\nIn Python 2.1 and before, if both arguments were of integer types and\nthe second argument was negative, an exception was raised).\n\nRaising "0.0" to a negative power results in a "ZeroDivisionError".\nRaising a negative number to a fractional power results in a\n"ValueError".\n',
 'print': u'\nThe "print" statement\n*********************\n\n   print_stmt ::= "print" ([expression ("," expression)* [","]]\n                  | ">>" expression [("," expression)+ [","]])\n\n"print" evaluates each expression in turn and writes the resulting\nobject to standard output (see below).  If an object is not a string,\nit is first converted to a string using the rules for string\nconversions.  The (resulting or original) string is then written.  A\nspace is written before each object is (converted and) written, unless\nthe output system believes it is positioned at the beginning of a\nline.  This is the case (1) when no characters have yet been written\nto standard output, (2) when the last character written to standard\noutput is a whitespace character except "\' \'", or (3) when the last\nwrite operation on standard output was not a "print" statement. (In\nsome cases it may be functional to write an empty string to standard\noutput for this reason.)\n\nNote: Objects which act like file objects but which are not the\n  built-in file objects often do not properly emulate this aspect of\n  the file object\'s behavior, so it is best not to rely on this.\n\nA "\'\\n\'" character is written at the end, unless the "print" statement\nends with a comma.  This is the only action if the statement contains\njust the keyword "print".\n\nStandard output is defined as the file object named "stdout" in the\nbuilt-in module "sys".  If no such object exists, or if it does not\nhave a "write()" method, a "RuntimeError" exception is raised.\n\n"print" also has an extended form, defined by the second portion of\nthe syntax described above. This form is sometimes referred to as\n""print" chevron." In this form, the first expression after the ">>"\nmust evaluate to a "file-like" object, specifically an object that has\na "write()" method as described above.  With this extended form, the\nsubsequent expressions are printed to this file object.  If the first\nexpression evaluates to "None", then "sys.stdout" is used as the file\nfor output.\n',
 'raise': u'\nThe "raise" statement\n*********************\n\n   raise_stmt ::= "raise" [expression ["," expression ["," expression]]]\n\nIf no expressions are present, "raise" re-raises the last exception\nthat was active in the current scope.  If no exception is active in\nthe current scope, a "TypeError" exception is raised indicating that\nthis is an error (if running under IDLE, a "Queue.Empty" exception is\nraised instead).\n\nOtherwise, "raise" evaluates the expressions to get three objects,\nusing "None" as the value of omitted expressions.  The first two\nobjects are used to determine the *type* and *value* of the exception.\n\nIf the first object is an instance, the type of the exception is the\nclass of the instance, the instance itself is the value, and the\nsecond object must be "None".\n\nIf the first object is a class, it becomes the type of the exception.\nThe second object is used to determine the exception value: If it is\nan instance of the class, the instance becomes the exception value. If\nthe second object is a tuple, it is used as the argument list for the\nclass constructor; if it is "None", an empty argument list is used,\nand any other object is treated as a single argument to the\nconstructor.  The instance so created by calling the constructor is\nused as the exception value.\n\nIf a third object is present and not "None", it must be a traceback\nobject (see section *The standard type hierarchy*), and it is\nsubstituted instead of the current location as the place where the\nexception occurred.  If the third object is present and not a\ntraceback object or "None", a "TypeError" exception is raised.  The\nthree-expression form of "raise" is useful to re-raise an exception\ntransparently in an except clause, but "raise" with no expressions\nshould be preferred if the exception to be re-raised was the most\nrecently active exception in the current scope.\n\nAdditional information on exceptions can be found in section\n*Exceptions*, and information about handling exceptions is in section\n*The try statement*.\n',
 'return': u'\nThe "return" statement\n**********************\n\n   return_stmt ::= "return" [expression_list]\n\n"return" may only occur syntactically nested in a function definition,\nnot within a nested class definition.\n\nIf an expression list is present, it is evaluated, else "None" is\nsubstituted.\n\n"return" leaves the current function call with the expression list (or\n"None") as return value.\n\nWhen "return" passes control out of a "try" statement with a "finally"\nclause, that "finally" clause is executed before really leaving the\nfunction.\n\nIn a generator function, the "return" statement is not allowed to\ninclude an "expression_list".  In that context, a bare "return"\nindicates that the generator is done and will cause "StopIteration" to\nbe raised.\n',
 'sequence-types': u'\nEmulating container types\n*************************\n\nThe following methods can be defined to implement container objects.\nContainers usually are sequences (such as lists or tuples) or mappings\n(like dictionaries), but can represent other containers as well.  The\nfirst set of methods is used either to emulate a sequence or to\nemulate a mapping; the difference is that for a sequence, the\nallowable keys should be the integers *k* for which "0 <= k < N" where\n*N* is the length of the sequence, or slice objects, which define a\nrange of items. (For backwards compatibility, the method\n"__getslice__()" (see below) can also be defined to handle simple, but\nnot extended slices.) It is also recommended that mappings provide the\nmethods "keys()", "values()", "items()", "has_key()", "get()",\n"clear()", "setdefault()", "iterkeys()", "itervalues()",\n"iteritems()", "pop()", "popitem()", "copy()", and "update()" behaving\nsimilar to those for Python\'s standard dictionary objects.  The\n"UserDict" module provides a "DictMixin" class to help create those\nmethods from a base set of "__getitem__()", "__setitem__()",\n"__delitem__()", and "keys()". Mutable sequences should provide\nmethods "append()", "count()", "index()", "extend()", "insert()",\n"pop()", "remove()", "reverse()" and "sort()", like Python standard\nlist objects.  Finally, sequence types should implement addition\n(meaning concatenation) and multiplication (meaning repetition) by\ndefining the methods "__add__()", "__radd__()", "__iadd__()",\n"__mul__()", "__rmul__()" and "__imul__()" described below; they\nshould not define "__coerce__()" or other numerical operators.  It is\nrecommended that both mappings and sequences implement the\n"__contains__()" method to allow efficient use of the "in" operator;\nfor mappings, "in" should be equivalent of "has_key()"; for sequences,\nit should search through the values.  It is further recommended that\nboth mappings and sequences implement the "__iter__()" method to allow\nefficient iteration through the container; for mappings, "__iter__()"\nshould be the same as "iterkeys()"; for sequences, it should iterate\nthrough the values.\n\nobject.__len__(self)\n\n   Called to implement the built-in function "len()".  Should return\n   the length of the object, an integer ">=" 0.  Also, an object that\n   doesn\'t define a "__nonzero__()" method and whose "__len__()"\n   method returns zero is considered to be false in a Boolean context.\n\nobject.__getitem__(self, key)\n\n   Called to implement evaluation of "self[key]". For sequence types,\n   the accepted keys should be integers and slice objects.  Note that\n   the special interpretation of negative indexes (if the class wishes\n   to emulate a sequence type) is up to the "__getitem__()" method. If\n   *key* is of an inappropriate type, "TypeError" may be raised; if of\n   a value outside the set of indexes for the sequence (after any\n   special interpretation of negative values), "IndexError" should be\n   raised. For mapping types, if *key* is missing (not in the\n   container), "KeyError" should be raised.\n\n   Note: "for" loops expect that an "IndexError" will be raised for\n     illegal indexes to allow proper detection of the end of the\n     sequence.\n\nobject.__setitem__(self, key, value)\n\n   Called to implement assignment to "self[key]".  Same note as for\n   "__getitem__()".  This should only be implemented for mappings if\n   the objects support changes to the values for keys, or if new keys\n   can be added, or for sequences if elements can be replaced.  The\n   same exceptions should be raised for improper *key* values as for\n   the "__getitem__()" method.\n\nobject.__delitem__(self, key)\n\n   Called to implement deletion of "self[key]".  Same note as for\n   "__getitem__()".  This should only be implemented for mappings if\n   the objects support removal of keys, or for sequences if elements\n   can be removed from the sequence.  The same exceptions should be\n   raised for improper *key* values as for the "__getitem__()" metho
 'shifting': u'\nShifting operations\n*******************\n\nThe shifting operations have lower priority than the arithmetic\noperations:\n\n   shift_expr ::= a_expr | shift_expr ( "<<" | ">>" ) a_expr\n\nThese operators accept plain or long integers as arguments.  The\narguments are converted to a common type.  They shift the first\nargument to the left or right by the number of bits given by the\nsecond argument.\n\nA right shift by *n* bits is defined as division by "pow(2, n)".  A\nleft shift by *n* bits is defined as multiplication with "pow(2, n)".\nNegative shift counts raise a "ValueError" exception.\n\nNote: In the current implementation, the right-hand operand is\n  required to be at most "sys.maxsize".  If the right-hand operand is\n  larger than "sys.maxsize" an "OverflowError" exception is raised.\n',
 'slicings': u'\nSlicings\n********\n\nA slicing selects a range of items in a sequence object (e.g., a\nstring, tuple or list).  Slicings may be used as expressions or as\ntargets in assignment or "del" statements.  The syntax for a slicing:\n\n   slicing          ::= simple_slicing | extended_slicing\n   simple_slicing   ::= primary "[" short_slice "]"\n   extended_slicing ::= primary "[" slice_list "]"\n   slice_list       ::= slice_item ("," slice_item)* [","]\n   slice_item       ::= expression | proper_slice | ellipsis\n   proper_slice     ::= short_slice | long_slice\n   short_slice      ::= [lower_bound] ":" [upper_bound]\n   long_slice       ::= short_slice ":" [stride]\n   lower_bound      ::= expression\n   upper_bound      ::= expression\n   stride           ::= expression\n   ellipsis         ::= "..."\n\nThere is ambiguity in the formal syntax here: anything that looks like\nan expression list also looks like a slice list, so any subscription\ncan be interpreted as a slicing.  Rather than further complicating the\nsyntax, this is disambiguated by defining that in this case the\ninterpretation as a subscription takes priority over the\ninterpretation as a slicing (this is the case if the slice list\ncontains no proper slice nor ellipses).  Similarly, when the slice\nlist has exactly one short slice and no trailing comma, the\ninterpretation as a simple slicing takes priority over that as an\nextended slicing.\n\nThe semantics for a simple slicing are as follows.  The primary must\nevaluate to a sequence object.  The lower and upper bound expressions,\nif present, must evaluate to plain integers; defaults are zero and the\n"sys.maxint", respectively.  If either bound is negative, the\nsequence\'s length is added to it.  The slicing now selects all items\nwith index *k* such that "i <= k < j" where *i* and *j* are the\nspecified lower and upper bounds.  This may be an empty sequence.  It\nis not an error if *i* or *j* lie outside the range of valid indexes\n(such items don\'t exist so they aren\'t selected).\n\nThe semantics for an extended slicing are as follows.  The primary\nmust evaluate to a mapping object, and it is indexed with a key that\nis constructed from the slice list, as follows.  If the slice list\ncontains at least one comma, the key is a tuple containing the\nconversion of the slice items; otherwise, the conversion of the lone\nslice item is the key.  The conversion of a slice item that is an\nexpression is that expression.  The conversion of an ellipsis slice\nitem is the built-in "Ellipsis" object.  The conversion of a proper\nslice is a slice object (see section *The standard type hierarchy*)\nwhose "start", "stop" and "step" attributes are the values of the\nexpressions given as lower bound, upper bound and stride,\nrespectively, substituting "None" for missing expressions.\n',
 'specialattrs': u'\nSpecial Attributes\n******************\n\nThe implementation adds a few special read-only attributes to several\nobject types, where they are relevant.  Some of these are not reported\nby the "dir()" built-in function.\n\nobject.__dict__\n\n   A dictionary or other mapping object used to store an object\'s\n   (writable) attributes.\n\nobject.__methods__\n\n   Deprecated since version 2.2: Use the built-in function "dir()" to\n   get a list of an object\'s attributes. This attribute is no longer\n   available.\n\nobject.__members__\n\n   Deprecated since version 2.2: Use the built-in function "dir()" to\n   get a list of an object\'s attributes. This attribute is no longer\n   available.\n\ninstance.__class__\n\n   The class to which a class instance belongs.\n\nclass.__bases__\n\n   The tuple of base classes of a class object.\n\nclass.__name__\n\n   The name of the class or type.\n\nThe following attributes are only supported by *new-style class*es.\n\nclass.__mro__\n\n   This attribute is a tuple of classes that are considered when\n   looking for base classes during method resolution.\n\nclass.mro()\n\n   This method can be overridden by a metaclass to customize the\n   method resolution order for its instances.  It is called at class\n   instantiation, and its result is stored in "__mro__".\n\nclass.__subclasses__()\n\n   Each new-style class keeps a list of weak references to its\n   immediate subclasses.  This method returns a list of all those\n   references still alive. Example:\n\n      >>> int.__subclasses__()\n      [<type \'bool\'>]\n\n-[ Footnotes ]-\n\n[1] Additional information on these special methods may be found\n    in the Python Reference Manual (*Basic customization*).\n\n[2] As a consequence, the list "[1, 2]" is considered equal to\n    "[1.0, 2.0]", and similarly for tuples.\n\n[3] They must have since the parser can\'t tell the type of the\n    operands.\n\n[4] Cased characters are those with general category property\n    being one of "Lu" (Letter, uppercase), "Ll" (Letter, lowercase),\n    or "Lt" (Letter, titlecase).\n\n[5] To format only a tuple you should therefore provide a\n    singleton tuple whose only element is the tuple to be formatted.\n\n[6] The advantage of leaving the newline on is that returning an\n    empty string is then an unambiguous EOF indication.  It is also\n    possible (in cases where it might matter, for example, if you want\n    to make an exact copy of a file while scanning its lines) to tell\n    whether the last line of a file ended in a newline or not (yes\n    this happens!).\n',
 'specialnames': u'\nSpecial method names\n********************\n\nA class can implement certain operations that are invoked by special\nsyntax (such as arithmetic operations or subscripting and slicing) by\ndefining methods with special names. This is Python\'s approach to\n*operator overloading*, allowing classes to define their own behavior\nwith respect to language operators.  For instance, if a class defines\na method named "__getitem__()", and "x" is an instance of this class,\nthen "x[i]" is roughly equivalent to "x.__getitem__(i)" for old-style\nclasses and "type(x).__getitem__(x, i)" for new-style classes.  Except\nwhere mentioned, attempts to execute an operation raise an exception\nwhen no appropriate method is defined (typically "AttributeError" or\n"TypeError").\n\nWhen implementing a class that emulates any built-in type, it is\nimportant that the emulation only be implemented to the degree that it\nmakes sense for the object being modelled.  For example, some\nsequences may work well with retrieval of individual elements, but\nextracting a slice may not make sense.  (One example of this is the\n"NodeList" interface in the W3C\'s Document Object Model.)\n\n\nBasic customization\n===================\n\nobject.__new__(cls[, ...])\n\n   Called to create a new instance of class *cls*.  "__new__()" is a\n   static method (special-cased so you need not declare it as such)\n   that takes the class of which an instance was requested as its\n   first argument.  The remaining arguments are those passed to the\n   object constructor expression (the call to the class).  The return\n   value of "__new__()" should be the new object instance (usually an\n   instance of *cls*).\n\n   Typical implementations create a new instance of the class by\n   invoking the superclass\'s "__new__()" method using\n   "super(currentclass, cls).__new__(cls[, ...])" with appropriate\n   arguments and then modifying the newly-created instance as\n   necessary before returning it.\n\n   If "__new__()" returns an instance of *cls*, then the new\n   instance\'s "__init__()" method will be invoked like\n   "__init__(self[, ...])", where *self* is the new instance and the\n   remaining arguments are the same as were passed to "__new__()".\n\n   If "__new__()" does not return an instance of *cls*, then the new\n   instance\'s "__init__()" method will not be invoked.\n\n   "__new__()" is intended mainly to allow subclasses of immutable\n   types (like int, str, or tuple) to customize instance creation.  It\n   is also commonly overridden in custom metaclasses in order to\n   customize class creation.\n\nobject.__init__(self[, ...])\n\n   Called when the instance is created.  The arguments are those\n   passed to the class constructor expression.  If a base class has an\n   "__init__()" method, the derived class\'s "__init__()" method, if\n   any, must explicitly call it to ensure proper initialization of the\n   base class part of the instance; for example:\n   "BaseClass.__init__(self, [args...])".  As a special constraint on\n   constructors, no value may be returned; doing so will cause a\n   "TypeError" to be raised at runtime.\n\nobject.__del__(self)\n\n   Called when the instance is about to be destroyed.  This is also\n   called a destructor.  If a base class has a "__del__()" method, the\n   derived class\'s "__del__()" method, if any, must explicitly call it\n   to ensure proper deletion of the base class part of the instance.\n   Note that it is possible (though not recommended!) for the\n   "__del__()" method to postpone destruction of the instance by\n   creating a new reference to it.  It may then be called at a later\n   time when this new reference is deleted.  It is not guaranteed that\n   "__del__()" methods are called for objects that still exist when\n   the interpreter exits.\n\n   Note: "del x" doesn\'t directly call "x.__del__()" --- the former\n     decrements the reference count for "x" by one, and the latter is\n     only called when "x"\'s reference count reaches zero.  Some common\n     situations that may prevent the r
 'string-methods': u'\nString Methods\n**************\n\nBelow are listed the string methods which both 8-bit strings and\nUnicode objects support.  Some of them are also available on\n"bytearray" objects.\n\nIn addition, Python\'s strings support the sequence type methods\ndescribed in the *Sequence Types --- str, unicode, list, tuple,\nbytearray, buffer, xrange* section. To output formatted strings use\ntemplate strings or the "%" operator described in the *String\nFormatting Operations* section. Also, see the "re" module for string\nfunctions based on regular expressions.\n\nstr.capitalize()\n\n   Return a copy of the string with its first character capitalized\n   and the rest lowercased.\n\n   For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\n\nstr.center(width[, fillchar])\n\n   Return centered in a string of length *width*. Padding is done\n   using the specified *fillchar* (default is a space).\n\n   Changed in version 2.4: Support for the *fillchar* argument.\n\nstr.count(sub[, start[, end]])\n\n   Return the number of non-overlapping occurrences of substring *sub*\n   in the range [*start*, *end*].  Optional arguments *start* and\n   *end* are interpreted as in slice notation.\n\nstr.decode([encoding[, errors]])\n\n   Decodes the string using the codec registered for *encoding*.\n   *encoding* defaults to the default string encoding.  *errors* may\n   be given to set a different error handling scheme.  The default is\n   "\'strict\'", meaning that encoding errors raise "UnicodeError".\n   Other possible values are "\'ignore\'", "\'replace\'" and any other\n   name registered via "codecs.register_error()", see section *Codec\n   Base Classes*.\n\n   New in version 2.2.\n\n   Changed in version 2.3: Support for other error handling schemes\n   added.\n\n   Changed in version 2.7: Support for keyword arguments added.\n\nstr.encode([encoding[, errors]])\n\n   Return an encoded version of the string.  Default encoding is the\n   current default string encoding.  *errors* may be given to set a\n   different error handling scheme.  The default for *errors* is\n   "\'strict\'", meaning that encoding errors raise a "UnicodeError".\n   Other possible values are "\'ignore\'", "\'replace\'",\n   "\'xmlcharrefreplace\'", "\'backslashreplace\'" and any other name\n   registered via "codecs.register_error()", see section *Codec Base\n   Classes*. For a list of possible encodings, see section *Standard\n   Encodings*.\n\n   New in version 2.0.\n\n   Changed in version 2.3: Support for "\'xmlcharrefreplace\'" and\n   "\'backslashreplace\'" and other error handling schemes added.\n\n   Changed in version 2.7: Support for keyword arguments added.\n\nstr.endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])\n\n   Return "True" if the string ends with the specified *suffix*,\n   otherwise return "False".  *suffix* can also be a tuple of suffixes\n   to look for.  With optional *start*, test beginning at that\n   position.  With optional *end*, stop comparing at that position.\n\n   Changed in version 2.5: Accept tuples as *suffix*.\n\nstr.expandtabs([tabsize])\n\n   Return a copy of the string where all tab characters are replaced\n   by one or more spaces, depending on the current column and the\n   given tab size.  Tab positions occur every *tabsize* characters\n   (default is 8, giving tab positions at columns 0, 8, 16 and so on).\n   To expand the string, the current column is set to zero and the\n   string is examined character by character.  If the character is a\n   tab ("\\t"), one or more space characters are inserted in the result\n   until the current column is equal to the next tab position. (The\n   tab character itself is not copied.)  If the character is a newline\n   ("\\n") or return ("\\r"), it is copied and the current column is\n   reset to zero.  Any other character is copied unchanged and the\n   current column is incremented by one regardless of how the\n   character is represented when printed.\n\n   >>> \'01\\t012\\t0123\\t01234\'.expandtabs()\n   \'01      012     0123    01234\'\n   >>> \'01\\t012\\t0123\\t01234\'.expandt
 'strings': u'\nString literals\n***************\n\nString literals are described by the following lexical definitions:\n\n   stringliteral   ::= [stringprefix](shortstring | longstring)\n   stringprefix    ::= "r" | "u" | "ur" | "R" | "U" | "UR" | "Ur" | "uR"\n                    | "b" | "B" | "br" | "Br" | "bR" | "BR"\n   shortstring     ::= "\'" shortstringitem* "\'" | \'"\' shortstringitem* \'"\'\n   longstring      ::= "\'\'\'" longstringitem* "\'\'\'"\n                  | \'"""\' longstringitem* \'"""\'\n   shortstringitem ::= shortstringchar | escapeseq\n   longstringitem  ::= longstringchar | escapeseq\n   shortstringchar ::= <any source character except "\\" or newline or the quote>\n   longstringchar  ::= <any source character except "\\">\n   escapeseq       ::= "\\" <any ASCII character>\n\nOne syntactic restriction not indicated by these productions is that\nwhitespace is not allowed between the "stringprefix" and the rest of\nthe string literal. The source character set is defined by the\nencoding declaration; it is ASCII if no encoding declaration is given\nin the source file; see section *Encoding declarations*.\n\nIn plain English: String literals can be enclosed in matching single\nquotes ("\'") or double quotes (""").  They can also be enclosed in\nmatching groups of three single or double quotes (these are generally\nreferred to as *triple-quoted strings*).  The backslash ("\\")\ncharacter is used to escape characters that otherwise have a special\nmeaning, such as newline, backslash itself, or the quote character.\nString literals may optionally be prefixed with a letter "\'r\'" or\n"\'R\'"; such strings are called *raw strings* and use different rules\nfor interpreting backslash escape sequences.  A prefix of "\'u\'" or\n"\'U\'" makes the string a Unicode string.  Unicode strings use the\nUnicode character set as defined by the Unicode Consortium and ISO\n10646.  Some additional escape sequences, described below, are\navailable in Unicode strings. A prefix of "\'b\'" or "\'B\'" is ignored in\nPython 2; it indicates that the literal should become a bytes literal\nin Python 3 (e.g. when code is automatically converted with 2to3).  A\n"\'u\'" or "\'b\'" prefix may be followed by an "\'r\'" prefix.\n\nIn triple-quoted strings, unescaped newlines and quotes are allowed\n(and are retained), except that three unescaped quotes in a row\nterminate the string.  (A "quote" is the character used to open the\nstring, i.e. either "\'" or """.)\n\nUnless an "\'r\'" or "\'R\'" prefix is present, escape sequences in\nstrings are interpreted according to rules similar to those used by\nStandard C.  The recognized escape sequences are:\n\n+-------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+\n| Escape Sequence   | Meaning                           | Notes   |\n+===================+===================================+=========+\n| "\\newline"        | Ignored                           |         |\n+-------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+\n| "\\\\"              | Backslash ("\\")                   |         |\n+-------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+\n| "\\\'"              | Single quote ("\'")                |         |\n+-------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+\n| "\\""              | Double quote (""")                |         |\n+-------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+\n| "\\a"              | ASCII Bell (BEL)                  |         |\n+-------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+\n| "\\b"              | ASCII Backspace (BS)              |         |\n+-------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+\n| "\\f"              | ASCII Formfeed (FF)               |         |\n+-------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+\n| "\\n"              | ASCII Linefeed (LF)               |         |\n+-------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+\n| "\\N{name}"        | Character named *name* in the     |         |\n|

The\nfollowing values are considered false:\n\n* "None"\n\n* "False"\n\n* zero of any numeric type, for example, "0", "0L", "0.0", "0j".\n\n* any empty sequence, for example, "\'\'", "()", "[]".\n\n* any empty mapping, for example, "{}".\n\n* instances of user-defined classes, if the class defines a\n  "__nonzero__()" or "__len__()" method, when that method returns the\n  integer zero or "bool" value "False". [1]\n\nAll other values are considered true --- so objects of many types are\nalways true.\n\nOperations and built-in functions that have a Boolean result always\nreturn "0" or "False" for false and "1" or "True" for true, unless\notherwise stated. (Important exception: the Boolean operations "or"\nand "and" always return one of their operands.)\n',
 'try': u'\nThe "try" statement\n*******************\n\nThe "try" statement specifies exception handlers and/or cleanup code\nfor a group of statements:\n\n   try_stmt  ::= try1_stmt | try2_stmt\n   try1_stmt ::= "try" ":" suite\n                 ("except" [expression [("as" | ",") identifier]] ":" suite)+\n                 ["else" ":" suite]\n                 ["finally" ":" suite]\n   try2_stmt ::= "try" ":" suite\n                 "finally" ":" suite\n\nChanged in version 2.5: In previous versions of Python,\n"try"..."except"..."finally" did not work. "try"..."except" had to be\nnested in "try"..."finally".\n\nThe "except" clause(s) specify one or more exception handlers. When no\nexception occurs in the "try" clause, no exception handler is\nexecuted. When an exception occurs in the "try" suite, a search for an\nexception handler is started.  This search inspects the except clauses\nin turn until one is found that matches the exception.  An expression-\nless except clause, if present, must be last; it matches any\nexception.  For an except clause with an expression, that expression\nis evaluated, and the clause matches the exception if the resulting\nobject is "compatible" with the exception.  An object is compatible\nwith an exception if it is the class or a base class of the exception\nobject, or a tuple containing an item compatible with the exception.\n\nIf no except clause matches the exception, the search for an exception\nhandler continues in the surrounding code and on the invocation stack.\n[1]\n\nIf the evaluation of an expression in the header of an except clause\nraises an exception, the original search for a handler is canceled and\na search starts for the new exception in the surrounding code and on\nthe call stack (it is treated as if the entire "try" statement raised\nthe exception).\n\nWhen a matching except clause is found, the exception is assigned to\nthe target specified in that except clause, if present, and the except\nclause\'s suite is executed.  All except clauses must have an\nexecutable block.  When the end of this block is reached, execution\ncontinues normally after the entire try statement.  (This means that\nif two nested handlers exist for the same exception, and the exception\noccurs in the try clause of the inner handler, the outer handler will\nnot handle the exception.)\n\nBefore an except clause\'s suite is executed, details about the\nexception are assigned to three variables in the "sys" module:\n"sys.exc_type" receives the object identifying the exception;\n"sys.exc_value" receives the exception\'s parameter;\n"sys.exc_traceback" receives a traceback object (see section *The\nstandard type hierarchy*) identifying the point in the program where\nthe exception occurred. These details are also available through the\n"sys.exc_info()" function, which returns a tuple "(exc_type,\nexc_value, exc_traceback)".  Use of the corresponding variables is\ndeprecated in favor of this function, since their use is unsafe in a\nthreaded program.  As of Python 1.5, the variables are restored to\ntheir previous values (before the call) when returning from a function\nthat handled an exception.\n\nThe optional "else" clause is executed if and when control flows off\nthe end of the "try" clause. [2] Exceptions in the "else" clause are\nnot handled by the preceding "except" clauses.\n\nIf "finally" is present, it specifies a \'cleanup\' handler.  The "try"\nclause is executed, including any "except" and "else" clauses.  If an\nexception occurs in any of the clauses and is not handled, the\nexception is temporarily saved. The "finally" clause is executed.  If\nthere is a saved exception, it is re-raised at the end of the\n"finally" clause. If the "finally" clause raises another exception or\nexecutes a "return" or "break" statement, the saved exception is\ndiscarded:\n\n   >>> def f():\n   ...     try:\n   ...         1/0\n   ...     finally:\n   ...         return 42\n   ...\n   >>> f()\n   42\n\nThe exception information is not available to the program during\nexecution of the "finally" clause.\n\nW
 'types': u'\nThe standard type hierarchy\n***************************\n\nBelow is a list of the types that are built into Python.  Extension\nmodules (written in C, Java, or other languages, depending on the\nimplementation) can define additional types.  Future versions of\nPython may add types to the type hierarchy (e.g., rational numbers,\nefficiently stored arrays of integers, etc.).\n\nSome of the type descriptions below contain a paragraph listing\n\'special attributes.\'  These are attributes that provide access to the\nimplementation and are not intended for general use.  Their definition\nmay change in the future.\n\nNone\n   This type has a single value.  There is a single object with this\n   value. This object is accessed through the built-in name "None". It\n   is used to signify the absence of a value in many situations, e.g.,\n   it is returned from functions that don\'t explicitly return\n   anything. Its truth value is false.\n\nNotImplemented\n   This type has a single value.  There is a single object with this\n   value. This object is accessed through the built-in name\n   "NotImplemented". Numeric methods and rich comparison methods may\n   return this value if they do not implement the operation for the\n   operands provided.  (The interpreter will then try the reflected\n   operation, or some other fallback, depending on the operator.)  Its\n   truth value is true.\n\nEllipsis\n   This type has a single value.  There is a single object with this\n   value. This object is accessed through the built-in name\n   "Ellipsis". It is used to indicate the presence of the "..." syntax\n   in a slice.  Its truth value is true.\n\n"numbers.Number"\n   These are created by numeric literals and returned as results by\n   arithmetic operators and arithmetic built-in functions.  Numeric\n   objects are immutable; once created their value never changes.\n   Python numbers are of course strongly related to mathematical\n   numbers, but subject to the limitations of numerical representation\n   in computers.\n\n   Python distinguishes between integers, floating point numbers, and\n   complex numbers:\n\n   "numbers.Integral"\n      These represent elements from the mathematical set of integers\n      (positive and negative).\n\n      There are three types of integers:\n\n      Plain integers\n         These represent numbers in the range -2147483648 through\n         2147483647. (The range may be larger on machines with a\n         larger natural word size, but not smaller.)  When the result\n         of an operation would fall outside this range, the result is\n         normally returned as a long integer (in some cases, the\n         exception "OverflowError" is raised instead).  For the\n         purpose of shift and mask operations, integers are assumed to\n         have a binary, 2\'s complement notation using 32 or more bits,\n         and hiding no bits from the user (i.e., all 4294967296\n         different bit patterns correspond to different values).\n\n      Long integers\n         These represent numbers in an unlimited range, subject to\n         available (virtual) memory only.  For the purpose of shift\n         and mask operations, a binary representation is assumed, and\n         negative numbers are represented in a variant of 2\'s\n         complement which gives the illusion of an infinite string of\n         sign bits extending to the left.\n\n      Booleans\n         These represent the truth values False and True.  The two\n         objects representing the values "False" and "True" are the\n         only Boolean objects. The Boolean type is a subtype of plain\n         integers, and Boolean values behave like the values 0 and 1,\n         respectively, in almost all contexts, the exception being\n         that when converted to a string, the strings ""False"" or\n         ""True"" are returned, respectively.\n\n      The rules for integer representation are intended to give the\n      most meaningful interpretation of shift and mask operations\n      involving negative integers and the least
 'typesfunctions': u'\nFunctions\n*********\n\nFunction objects are created by function definitions.  The only\noperation on a function object is to call it: "func(argument-list)".\n\nThere are really two flavors of function objects: built-in functions\nand user-defined functions.  Both support the same operation (to call\nthe function), but the implementation is different, hence the\ndifferent object types.\n\nSee *Function definitions* for more information.\n',
 'typesmapping': u'\nMapping Types --- "dict"\n************************\n\nA *mapping* object maps *hashable* values to arbitrary objects.\nMappings are mutable objects.  There is currently only one standard\nmapping type, the *dictionary*.  (For other containers see the built\nin "list", "set", and "tuple" classes, and the "collections" module.)\n\nA dictionary\'s keys are *almost* arbitrary values.  Values that are\nnot *hashable*, that is, values containing lists, dictionaries or\nother mutable types (that are compared by value rather than by object\nidentity) may not be used as keys.  Numeric types used for keys obey\nthe normal rules for numeric comparison: if two numbers compare equal\n(such as "1" and "1.0") then they can be used interchangeably to index\nthe same dictionary entry.  (Note however, that since computers store\nfloating-point numbers as approximations it is usually unwise to use\nthem as dictionary keys.)\n\nDictionaries can be created by placing a comma-separated list of "key:\nvalue" pairs within braces, for example: "{\'jack\': 4098, \'sjoerd\':\n4127}" or "{4098: \'jack\', 4127: \'sjoerd\'}", or by the "dict"\nconstructor.\n\nclass class dict(**kwarg)\nclass class dict(mapping, **kwarg)\nclass class dict(iterable, **kwarg)\n\n   Return a new dictionary initialized from an optional positional\n   argument and a possibly empty set of keyword arguments.\n\n   If no positional argument is given, an empty dictionary is created.\n   If a positional argument is given and it is a mapping object, a\n   dictionary is created with the same key-value pairs as the mapping\n   object.  Otherwise, the positional argument must be an *iterable*\n   object.  Each item in the iterable must itself be an iterable with\n   exactly two objects.  The first object of each item becomes a key\n   in the new dictionary, and the second object the corresponding\n   value.  If a key occurs more than once, the last value for that key\n   becomes the corresponding value in the new dictionary.\n\n   If keyword arguments are given, the keyword arguments and their\n   values are added to the dictionary created from the positional\n   argument.  If a key being added is already present, the value from\n   the keyword argument replaces the value from the positional\n   argument.\n\n   To illustrate, the following examples all return a dictionary equal\n   to "{"one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3}":\n\n      >>> a = dict(one=1, two=2, three=3)\n      >>> b = {\'one\': 1, \'two\': 2, \'three\': 3}\n      >>> c = dict(zip([\'one\', \'two\', \'three\'], [1, 2, 3]))\n      >>> d = dict([(\'two\', 2), (\'one\', 1), (\'three\', 3)])\n      >>> e = dict({\'three\': 3, \'one\': 1, \'two\': 2})\n      >>> a == b == c == d == e\n      True\n\n   Providing keyword arguments as in the first example only works for\n   keys that are valid Python identifiers.  Otherwise, any valid keys\n   can be used.\n\n   New in version 2.2.\n\n   Changed in version 2.3: Support for building a dictionary from\n   keyword arguments added.\n\n   These are the operations that dictionaries support (and therefore,\n   custom mapping types should support too):\n\n   len(d)\n\n      Return the number of items in the dictionary *d*.\n\n   d[key]\n\n      Return the item of *d* with key *key*.  Raises a "KeyError" if\n      *key* is not in the map.\n\n      New in version 2.5: If a subclass of dict defines a method\n      "__missing__()", if the key *key* is not present, the "d[key]"\n      operation calls that method with the key *key* as argument.  The\n      "d[key]" operation then returns or raises whatever is returned\n      or raised by the "__missing__(key)" call if the key is not\n      present. No other operations or methods invoke "__missing__()".\n      If "__missing__()" is not defined, "KeyError" is raised.\n      "__missing__()" must be a method; it cannot be an instance\n      variable. For an example, see "collections.defaultdict".\n\n   d[key] = value\n\n      Set "d[key]" to *value*.\n\n   del d[key]\n\n      Remove "d[key]" from *d*.  Raises a "KeyError" if 
 'typesmethods': u'\nMethods\n*******\n\nMethods are functions that are called using the attribute notation.\nThere are two flavors: built-in methods (such as "append()" on lists)\nand class instance methods.  Built-in methods are described with the\ntypes that support them.\n\nThe implementation adds two special read-only attributes to class\ninstance methods: "m.im_self" is the object on which the method\noperates, and "m.im_func" is the function implementing the method.\nCalling "m(arg-1, arg-2, ..., arg-n)" is completely equivalent to\ncalling "m.im_func(m.im_self, arg-1, arg-2, ..., arg-n)".\n\nClass instance methods are either *bound* or *unbound*, referring to\nwhether the method was accessed through an instance or a class,\nrespectively.  When a method is unbound, its "im_self" attribute will\nbe "None" and if called, an explicit "self" object must be passed as\nthe first argument.  In this case, "self" must be an instance of the\nunbound method\'s class (or a subclass of that class), otherwise a\n"TypeError" is raised.\n\nLike function objects, methods objects support getting arbitrary\nattributes. However, since method attributes are actually stored on\nthe underlying function object ("meth.im_func"), setting method\nattributes on either bound or unbound methods is disallowed.\nAttempting to set an attribute on a method results in an\n"AttributeError" being raised.  In order to set a method attribute,\nyou need to explicitly set it on the underlying function object:\n\n   >>> class C:\n   ...     def method(self):\n   ...         pass\n   ...\n   >>> c = C()\n   >>> c.method.whoami = \'my name is method\'  # can\'t set on the method\n   Traceback (most recent call last):\n     File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>\n   AttributeError: \'instancemethod\' object has no attribute \'whoami\'\n   >>> c.method.im_func.whoami = \'my name is method\'\n   >>> c.method.whoami\n   \'my name is method\'\n\nSee *The standard type hierarchy* for more information.\n',
 'typesmodules': u'\nModules\n*******\n\nThe only special operation on a module is attribute access: "m.name",\nwhere *m* is a module and *name* accesses a name defined in *m*\'s\nsymbol table. Module attributes can be assigned to.  (Note that the\n"import" statement is not, strictly speaking, an operation on a module\nobject; "import foo" does not require a module object named *foo* to\nexist, rather it requires an (external) *definition* for a module\nnamed *foo* somewhere.)\n\nA special attribute of every module is "__dict__". This is the\ndictionary containing the module\'s symbol table. Modifying this\ndictionary will actually change the module\'s symbol table, but direct\nassignment to the "__dict__" attribute is not possible (you can write\n"m.__dict__[\'a\'] = 1", which defines "m.a" to be "1", but you can\'t\nwrite "m.__dict__ = {}").  Modifying "__dict__" directly is not\nrecommended.\n\nModules built into the interpreter are written like this: "<module\n\'sys\' (built-in)>".  If loaded from a file, they are written as\n"<module \'os\' from \'/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/os.pyc\'>".\n',
 'typesseq': u'\nSequence Types --- "str", "unicode", "list", "tuple", "bytearray", "buffer", "xrange"\n*************************************************************************************\n\nThere are seven sequence types: strings, Unicode strings, lists,\ntuples, bytearrays, buffers, and xrange objects.\n\nFor other containers see the built in "dict" and "set" classes, and\nthe "collections" module.\n\nString literals are written in single or double quotes: "\'xyzzy\'",\n""frobozz"".  See *String literals* for more about string literals.\nUnicode strings are much like strings, but are specified in the syntax\nusing a preceding "\'u\'" character: "u\'abc\'", "u"def"". In addition to\nthe functionality described here, there are also string-specific\nmethods described in the *String Methods* section. Lists are\nconstructed with square brackets, separating items with commas: "[a,\nb, c]". Tuples are constructed by the comma operator (not within\nsquare brackets), with or without enclosing parentheses, but an empty\ntuple must have the enclosing parentheses, such as "a, b, c" or "()".\nA single item tuple must have a trailing comma, such as "(d,)".\n\nBytearray objects are created with the built-in function\n"bytearray()".\n\nBuffer objects are not directly supported by Python syntax, but can be\ncreated by calling the built-in function "buffer()".  They don\'t\nsupport concatenation or repetition.\n\nObjects of type xrange are similar to buffers in that there is no\nspecific syntax to create them, but they are created using the\n"xrange()" function.  They don\'t support slicing, concatenation or\nrepetition, and using "in", "not in", "min()" or "max()" on them is\ninefficient.\n\nMost sequence types support the following operations.  The "in" and\n"not in" operations have the same priorities as the comparison\noperations.  The "+" and "*" operations have the same priority as the\ncorresponding numeric operations. [3] Additional methods are provided\nfor *Mutable Sequence Types*.\n\nThis table lists the sequence operations sorted in ascending priority.\nIn the table, *s* and *t* are sequences of the same type; *n*, *i* and\n*j* are integers:\n\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\n| Operation          | Result                           | Notes      |\n+====================+==================================+============+\n| "x in s"           | "True" if an item of *s* is      | (1)        |\n|                    | equal to *x*, else "False"       |            |\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\n| "x not in s"       | "False" if an item of *s* is     | (1)        |\n|                    | equal to *x*, else "True"        |            |\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\n| "s + t"            | the concatenation of *s* and *t* | (6)        |\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\n| "s * n, n * s"     | *n* shallow copies of *s*        | (2)        |\n|                    | concatenated                     |            |\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\n| "s[i]"             | *i*th item of *s*, origin 0      | (3)        |\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\n| "s[i:j]"           | slice of *s* from *i* to *j*     | (3)(4)     |\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\n| "s[i:j:k]"         | slice of *s* from *i* to *j*     | (3)(5)     |\n|                    | with step *k*                    |            |\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\n| "len(s)"           | length of *s*                    |            |\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\n| "min(s)"           | smallest item of *s*             |            |\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\n| "max(s)"           | largest item of *s*              |            |\n+--------------------+--------------------
 'typesseq-mutable': u'\nMutable Sequence Types\n**********************\n\nList and "bytearray" objects support additional operations that allow\nin-place modification of the object. Other mutable sequence types\n(when added to the language) should also support these operations.\nStrings and tuples are immutable sequence types: such objects cannot\nbe modified once created. The following operations are defined on\nmutable sequence types (where *x* is an arbitrary object):\n\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| Operation                      | Result                           | Notes                 |\n+================================+==================================+=======================+\n| "s[i] = x"                     | item *i* of *s* is replaced by   |                       |\n|                                | *x*                              |                       |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "s[i:j] = t"                   | slice of *s* from *i* to *j* is  |                       |\n|                                | replaced by the contents of the  |                       |\n|                                | iterable *t*                     |                       |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "del s[i:j]"                   | same as "s[i:j] = []"            |                       |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "s[i:j:k] = t"                 | the elements of "s[i:j:k]" are   | (1)                   |\n|                                | replaced by those of *t*         |                       |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "del s[i:j:k]"                 | removes the elements of          |                       |\n|                                | "s[i:j:k]" from the list         |                       |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "s.append(x)"                  | same as "s[len(s):len(s)] = [x]" | (2)                   |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "s.extend(x)"                  | same as "s[len(s):len(s)] = x"   | (3)                   |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "s.count(x)"                   | return number of *i*\'s for which |                       |\n|                                | "s[i] == x"                      |                       |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "s.index(x[, i[, j]])"         | return smallest *k* such that    | (4)                   |\n|                                | "s[k] == x" and "i <= k < j"     |                       |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "s.insert(i, x)"               | same as "s[i:i] = [x]"           | (5)                   |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "s.pop([i])"                   | same as "x = s[i]; del s[i];     | (6)                   |\n|                                | return x"                        |                       |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "s.remove(x)"                  | same as "del s[s.index(x)]"      | (4)                   |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "s.reverse()"                  | reverses the items of *s* in     | (7)                   |\n|                                | place                            |                       |\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\n| "s
 'unary': u'\nUnary arithmetic and bitwise operations\n***************************************\n\nAll unary arithmetic and bitwise operations have the same priority:\n\n   u_expr ::= power | "-" u_expr | "+" u_expr | "~" u_expr\n\nThe unary "-" (minus) operator yields the negation of its numeric\nargument.\n\nThe unary "+" (plus) operator yields its numeric argument unchanged.\n\nThe unary "~" (invert) operator yields the bitwise inversion of its\nplain or long integer argument.  The bitwise inversion of "x" is\ndefined as "-(x+1)".  It only applies to integral numbers.\n\nIn all three cases, if the argument does not have the proper type, a\n"TypeError" exception is raised.\n',
 'while': u'\nThe "while" statement\n*********************\n\nThe "while" statement is used for repeated execution as long as an\nexpression is true:\n\n   while_stmt ::= "while" expression ":" suite\n                  ["else" ":" suite]\n\nThis repeatedly tests the expression and, if it is true, executes the\nfirst suite; if the expression is false (which may be the first time\nit is tested) the suite of the "else" clause, if present, is executed\nand the loop terminates.\n\nA "break" statement executed in the first suite terminates the loop\nwithout executing the "else" clause\'s suite.  A "continue" statement\nexecuted in the first suite skips the rest of the suite and goes back\nto testing the expression.\n',
 'with': u'\nThe "with" statement\n********************\n\nNew in version 2.5.\n\nThe "with" statement is used to wrap the execution of a block with\nmethods defined by a context manager (see section *With Statement\nContext Managers*). This allows common "try"..."except"..."finally"\nusage patterns to be encapsulated for convenient reuse.\n\n   with_stmt ::= "with" with_item ("," with_item)* ":" suite\n   with_item ::= expression ["as" target]\n\nThe execution of the "with" statement with one "item" proceeds as\nfollows:\n\n1. The context expression (the expression given in the "with_item")\n   is evaluated to obtain a context manager.\n\n2. The context manager\'s "__exit__()" is loaded for later use.\n\n3. The context manager\'s "__enter__()" method is invoked.\n\n4. If a target was included in the "with" statement, the return\n   value from "__enter__()" is assigned to it.\n\n   Note: The "with" statement guarantees that if the "__enter__()"\n     method returns without an error, then "__exit__()" will always be\n     called. Thus, if an error occurs during the assignment to the\n     target list, it will be treated the same as an error occurring\n     within the suite would be. See step 6 below.\n\n5. The suite is executed.\n\n6. The context manager\'s "__exit__()" method is invoked. If an\n   exception caused the suite to be exited, its type, value, and\n   traceback are passed as arguments to "__exit__()". Otherwise, three\n   "None" arguments are supplied.\n\n   If the suite was exited due to an exception, and the return value\n   from the "__exit__()" method was false, the exception is reraised.\n   If the return value was true, the exception is suppressed, and\n   execution continues with the statement following the "with"\n   statement.\n\n   If the suite was exited for any reason other than an exception, the\n   return value from "__exit__()" is ignored, and execution proceeds\n   at the normal location for the kind of exit that was taken.\n\nWith more than one item, the context managers are processed as if\nmultiple "with" statements were nested:\n\n   with A() as a, B() as b:\n       suite\n\nis equivalent to\n\n   with A() as a:\n       with B() as b:\n           suite\n\nNote: In Python 2.5, the "with" statement is only allowed when the\n  "with_statement" feature has been enabled.  It is always enabled in\n  Python 2.6.\n\nChanged in version 2.7: Support for multiple context expressions.\n\nSee also: **PEP 0343** - The "with" statement\n\n     The specification, background, and examples for the Python "with"\n     statement.\n',
 'yield': u'\nThe "yield" statement\n*********************\n\n   yield_stmt ::= yield_expression\n\nThe "yield" statement is only used when defining a generator function,\nand is only used in the body of the generator function. Using a\n"yield" statement in a function definition is sufficient to cause that\ndefinition to create a generator function instead of a normal\nfunction.\n\nWhen a generator function is called, it returns an iterator known as a\ngenerator iterator, or more commonly, a generator.  The body of the\ngenerator function is executed by calling the generator\'s "next()"\nmethod repeatedly until it raises an exception.\n\nWhen a "yield" statement is executed, the state of the generator is\nfrozen and the value of "expression_list" is returned to "next()"\'s\ncaller.  By "frozen" we mean that all local state is retained,\nincluding the current bindings of local variables, the instruction\npointer, and the internal evaluation stack: enough information is\nsaved so that the next time "next()" is invoked, the function can\nproceed exactly as if the "yield" statement were just another external\ncall.\n\nAs of Python version 2.5, the "yield" statement is now allowed in the\n"try" clause of a "try" ...  "finally" construct.  If the generator is\nnot resumed before it is finalized (by reaching a zero reference count\nor by being garbage collected), the generator-iterator\'s "close()"\nmethod will be called, allowing any pending "finally" clauses to\nexecute.\n\nFor full details of "yield" semantics, refer to the *Yield\nexpressions* section.\n\nNote: In Python 2.2, the "yield" statement was only allowed when the\n  "generators" feature has been enabled.  This "__future__" import\n  statement was used to enable the feature:\n\n     from __future__ import generators\n\nSee also: **PEP 0255** - Simple Generators\n\n     The proposal for adding generators and the "yield" statement to\n     Python.\n\n  **PEP 0342** - Coroutines via Enhanced Generators\n     The proposal that, among other generator enhancements, proposed\n     allowing "yield" to appear inside a "try" ... "finally" block.\n'}
