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.

Python Documentation

Current Python Documentation

Python's documentation is found online at docs.python.org, including all current translations.

Documentation for end-of-life Python releases

Older versions of the standard documentation are kept available as well, since many users have to maintain code for older versions of the interpreter as well. These can be found at https://www.python.org/doc/versions.html.

Other learning resources

https://www.python.org/doc/ lists other resources, including books and alternative introductory material.
