This is a static archive of the Python wiki, which was retired in February 2026 due to lack of usage and the resources necessary to serve it — predominately to bots, crawlers, and LLM companies.
Pages are preserved as they were at the time of archival. For current information, please visit python.org.
If a change to this archive is absolutely needed, requests can be made via the infrastructure@python.org mailing list.

Horizontal Rules

You can insert a horizontal rule across the page by typing four or more dashes. The number of dashes in a horizontal rule markup determines how thick it is, up to a limit of 10.

For more information on the possible markup, see HelpOnEditing.
