Reading this tutorial has probably reinforced your interest in using Python — you should be eager to apply Python to solving your real-world problems. 阅读本教程可能增强了您对使用Python的兴趣——您应该渴望将Python应用于解决实际问题。Where should you go to learn more?你应该去哪里了解更多？

This tutorial is part of Python’s documentation set. 本教程是Python文档集的一部分。Some other documents in the set are:该系列中的其他一些文件包括：

  • The Python Standard LibraryPython标准库:：

    You should browse through this manual, which gives complete (though terse) reference material about types, functions, and the modules in the standard library. 您应该浏览本手册，它提供了有关类型、功能和标准库中模块的完整（尽管简洁）参考资料。The standard Python distribution includes a lot of additional code. 标准的Python发行版包含许多附加代码。There are modules to read Unix mailboxes, retrieve documents via HTTP, generate random numbers, parse command-line options, write CGI programs, compress data, and many other tasks. 有一些模块可以读取Unix邮箱、通过HTTP检索文档、生成随机数、解析命令行选项、编写CGI程序、压缩数据以及许多其他任务。Skimming through the Library Reference will give you an idea of what’s available.略读库参考资料会让你了解库有哪些资料。

  • Installing Python Modules安装Python模块 explains how to install additional modules written by other Python users.解释如何安装其他Python用户编写的其他模块。

  • The Python Language ReferencePython语言参考: A detailed explanation of Python’s syntax and semantics. ：Python语法和语义的详细解释。It’s heavy reading, but is useful as a complete guide to the language itself.这本书阅读量很大，但作为语言本身的完整指南很有用。
