Chapter 4. The Python Language

This chapter is a quick guide to the Python language. To learn Python from scratch, I suggest you start with Learning Python, by Mark Lutz and David Ascher (O'Reilly). If you already know other programming languages and just want to learn the specifics of Python, this chapter is for you. I'm not trying to teach Python here, so we're going to cover a lot of ground at a pretty fast pace.
