On the other hand, if you are using
Python and wonder what the precise rules about a particular area of
the language are, you should definitely be able to find them here.

It is dangerous to add too many implementation details to a language
reference document --- the implementation may change, and other

its particular quirks are sometimes worth being mentioned, especially
where the implementation imposes additional limitations. Therefore,
you'll find short ``implementation notes'' sprinkled throughout the
