Python教程

Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms.

Python是一個簡單，強大的編程語言。它有高效高級的數據結構和一個簡單可是有效的面向對象的編程方法。Python簡潔的語法和動態類型，同它的解釋執行特性，使它在大多數平臺不少領域裏成爲了一門理想的腳本和快速程序開發的語言。

The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are freely available in source or binary form for all major platforms from the Python Web site, http://www.python.org/, and may be freely distributed. The same site also contains distributions of and pointers to many free third party Python modules, programs and tools, and additional documentation.

在Python的網站上[http://www.python.org/][1]，能夠自由獲取各大主流平臺Python解釋器和拓展標準庫的源代碼，並能夠自由傳播。這個網站也包含了不少發佈者和指向自由的第三方Python模塊，程序和工具以及附加文檔。

The Python interpreter is easily extended with new functions and data types implemented in C or C++ (or other languages callable from C). Python is also suitable as an extension language for customizable applications.

Python解釋器很容易經過C/C++(或者其餘可調用C的語言)拓展實現新函數和數據類型。Python也適合做爲可定製應用程序的一種拓展語言。

This tutorial introduces the reader informally to the basic concepts and features of the Python language and system. It helps to have a Python interpreter handy for hands-on experience, but all examples are self-contained, so the tutorial can be read off-line as well.

這篇教程向讀者通俗地講解一些Python語言和系統的基本概念和特性。這有助於讀者親手實踐Python解釋器，固然全部的例子都是獨立的，也能夠離線查看本教程。 [1]: http://www.python.org/
