\section{Summary\label{summary}}
-The following table summarizes the operator precedences in Python,
-from lowest precedence (least binding) to highest precedence (most
-binding). Operators in the same box have the same precedence. Unless
-the syntax is explicitly given, operators are binary. Operators in
-the same box group left to right (except for comparisons, which
-chain from left to right --- see above).
