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.

Privacy Declaration

This interactive Python interpreter supports connections to the internet using the socket module. Data is transmitted to the internet only if if this socket module is used (either directly, or indirectly e.g. through the urllib module). On its own, this app will not attempt to collect personal information.

The built-in access to SkyDrive is only used to download and run Python into the interpreter, and only on user request.
