- How do I get documentation on Python?
- -------------------------------------
- The standard documentation for the current stable version of Python is
- available at https://docs.python.org/3/. PDF, plain text, and
- downloadable HTML versions are also available at
- https://docs.python.org/3/download.html.
- The documentation is written in reStructuredText and processed by the
- Sphinx documentation tool. The reStructuredText source for the
- documentation is part of the Python source distribution.
- I've never programmed before. Is there a Python tutorial?
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- There are numerous tutorials and books available. The standard
- documentation includes The Python Tutorial.
- Consult the Beginner's Guide to find information for beginning Python
- programmers, including lists of tutorials.

- Is there a newsgroup or mailing list devoted to Python?
- -------------------------------------------------------
- There is a newsgroup, *comp.lang.python*, and a mailing list, python-
- list. The newsgroup and mailing list are gatewayed into each other --
- if you can read news it's unnecessary to subscribe to the mailing
- list. *comp.lang.python* is high-traffic, receiving hundreds of
- postings every day, and Usenet readers are often more able to cope
- with this volume.
- Announcements of new software releases and events can be found in
- comp.lang.python.announce, a low-traffic moderated list that receives
- about five postings per day. It's available as the python-announce
- mailing list.
- More info about other mailing lists and newsgroups can be found at
- https://www.python.org/community/lists/.
