On the other hand, if you are using
Python and wonder what the precise rules about a particular area of
the language are, you should definitely be able to find them here.

It is dangerous to add too many implementation details to a language
reference document --- the implementation may change, and other
implementations of the same language may work differently. On the

its particular quirks are sometimes worth being mentioned, especially
where the implementation imposes additional limitations. Therefore,
you'll find short ``implementation notes'' sprinkled throughout the
