| 85 Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming | |
| 86 language that combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. | |
| 87 For an introduction to programming in Python you are referred to the | |
| 88 Python Tutorial. | |
| 89 The Python Library Reference documents built-in and standard types, | |
| 90 constants, functions and modules. | |
| 91 Finally, the Python Reference Manual describes the syntax and | |
| 92 semantics of the core language in (perhaps too) much detail. | |

267 Warn about Python 3.x incompatibilities that 2to3 cannot trivially fix. |
| 1529 | 268 .SH INTERPRETER INTERFACE |
| 269 The interpreter interface resembles that of the UNIX shell: when | |
| 270 called with standard input connected to a tty device, it prompts for | |
| 271 commands and executes them until an EOF is read; when called with a | |
| 272 file name argument or with a file as standard input, it reads and | |
| 273 executes a | |
| 274 .I script | |
| 275 from that file; | |
| 276 when called with | |
| 277 .B \-c | |
| 278 .I command, | |
| 279 it executes the Python statement(s) given as | |
| 280 .I command. | |
| 281 Here | |
| 282 .I command | |
| 283 may contain multiple statements separated by newlines. | |
| 284 Leading whitespace is significant in Python statements! | |

302 Note that options interpreted by the Python interpreter itself |
| 1529 | 303 are not placed in |
| 304 .I sys.argv. | |
| 305 .PP | |
| 306 In interactive mode, the primary prompt is `>>>'; the second prompt | |
| 307 (which appears when a command is not complete) is `...'. | |
| 308 The prompts can be changed by assignment to | |
| 309 .I sys.ps1 | |
| 310 or | |
| 311 .I sys.ps2. | |
| 312 The interpreter quits when it reads an EOF at a prompt. | |
| 313 When an unhandled exception occurs, a stack trace is printed and | |
| 314 control returns to the primary prompt; in non-interactive mode, the | |
| 315 interpreter exits after printing the stack trace. | |
| 316 The interrupt signal raises the | |
| 317 .I Keyboard\%Interrupt | |
| 318 exception; other UNIX signals are not caught (except that SIGPIPE is | |
| 319 sometimes ignored, in favor of the | |
| 320 .I IOError | |
| 321 exception). Error messages are written to stderr. | |
| 322 .SH FILES AND DIRECTORIES | |
| 323 These are subject to difference depending on local installation | |
