A reference to Python 3.6.4’s standard library

The second of two volumes in the Python 3.6.4 Library Reference, this book covers chapters 19–37 and preserves the original page numbering, index, and back sections. Its subject is the library distributed with Python, along with some optional components commonly included in Python distributions—not the language’s syntax and semantics, which are covered in a separate language reference. The material spans built-in modules that expose system functions such as file I/O and Python-written modules offering standardized programming solutions. It also addresses APIs that abstract platform-specific details to support portability.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Python programmers consulting documentation for the 3.6.4 standard library
  • Readers who need the second volume of this two-book reference set
  • Programmers interested in built-in modules, optional components, or platform-neutral APIs

Book overview

This book is the second half of The Python Library Reference for Release 3.6.4, and covers chapters 19-37. The first book may be found with ISBN 9781680921083. The original Python Library Reference book is 1920 pages long. This book contains the original page numbers and index, along with the back sections fully intact.

While reference-index describes the exact syntax and semantics of the Python language, this library reference manual describes the standard library that is distributed with Python. It also describes some of the optional components that are commonly included in Python distributions.

Python's standard library is very extensive, offering a wide range of facilities as indicated by the long table of contents listed below. The library contains built-in modules (written in C) that provide access to system functionality such as file I/O that would otherwise be inaccessible to Python programmers, as well as modules written in Python that provide standardized solutions for many problems that occur in everyday programming. Some of these modules are explicitly designed to encourage and enhance the portability of Python programs by abstracting away platform-specifics into platform-neutral APIs.
