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.

First headline level with =-character

Second

Third

... (up to "Fifth")

If a headline isn't displayed correctly, it is usually because:

there are invisible (whitespace) spaces after the concluding =-character (they can be deleted manually or with "Remove trailing whitespace from each line" edit option).
the number of =-characters at the front and at the back doesn't match.
