+This file describes the built-in types, exceptions and functions and the
+standard modules that come with the Python system.  It assumes basic
+knowledge about the Python language.  For an informal introduction to
+the language, see the Python Tutorial.  The Python Reference Manual
+gives a more formal definition of the language.  (These manuals are not
+yet available in INFO or Texinfo format.)

+This version corresponds roughly to Python version 0.9.8 (yet to be
+released).
+
+@strong{Warning:} we have just finished converting the original LaTeX
+manual into Texinfo.  This is a difficult process and it is quite
+possible that errors have been introduced in the conversion.  Please
+report any errors you find by e-mail to the author,
