-\chapter{Top-level components}

-The Python interpreter can get its input from a number of sources:
-from a script passed to it as standard input or as program argument,
-typed in interactively, from a module source file, etc.  This chapter
-gives the syntax used in these cases.

-\section{Complete Python programs}
-\index{program}
-
-While a language specification need not prescribe how the language
-interpreter is invoked, it is useful to have a notion of a complete
-Python program.  A complete Python program is executed in a minimally
-initialized environment: all built-in and standard modules are
-available, but none have been initialized, except for \verb@sys@
-(various system services), \verb@__builtin__@ (built-in functions,
-exceptions and \verb@None@) and \verb@__main__@.  The latter is used
-to provide the local and global name space for execution of the
-complete program.

-\bimodindex{__main__}
-\bimodindex{__builtin__}
-
-The syntax for a complete Python program is that for file input,
-described in the next section.
-
-The interpreter may also be invoked in interactive mode; in this case,
-it does not read and execute a complete program but reads and executes
-one statement (possibly compound) at a time.  The initial environment
-is identical to that of a complete program; each statement is executed
-in the name space of \verb@__main__@.

-\bimodindex{__main__}
-
-Under {\UNIX}, a complete program can be passed to the interpreter in
-three forms: with the {\bf -c} {\it string} command line option, as a
-file passed as the first command line argument, or as standard input.
-If the file or standard input is a tty device, the interpreter enters
-interactive mode; otherwise, it executes the file as a complete
-program.

-\section{File input}
-
-All input read from non-interactive files has the same form:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-file_input:     (NEWLINE | statement)*
-\end{verbatim}
-
-This syntax is used in the following situations:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-
-\item when parsing a complete Python program (from a file or from a string);
-
-\item when parsing a module;
-
-\item when parsing a string passed to the \verb@exec@ statement;
-
-\end{itemize}
-
-\section{Interactive input}
-
-Input in interactive mode is parsed using the following grammar:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-interactive_input: [stmt_list] NEWLINE | compound_stmt NEWLINE
-\end{verbatim}
-
-Note that a (top-level) compound statement must be followed by a blank
-line in interactive mode; this is needed to help the parser detect the
-end of the input.
-
-\section{Expression input}
-\index{input}
-
-There are two forms of expression input.  Both ignore leading
-whitespace.
- 
-The string argument to \verb@eval()@ must have the following form:
-\bifuncindex{eval}
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-eval_input:     condition_list NEWLINE*
-\end{verbatim}
-
-The input line read by \verb@input()@ must have the following form:
-\bifuncindex{input}
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-input_input:    condition_list NEWLINE
-\end{verbatim}
-
-Note: to read `raw' input line without interpretation, you can use the
-built-in function \verb@raw_input()@  or the \verb@readline()@ method
-of file objects.
