Conventions

Python interpreters are available in both C and Java. To differentiate these two interpreters, the original implementation written in C is referred to as "CPython" while the native Java implementation is called "JPython." We would also like to define "Python" as the actual language definition while CPython and JPython are two interpreters that implement the language. We will refer to "python" as the executable file name for CPython and "jpython" as the executable file name for JPython.

All program output and source code are in Courier font. Python keywords appear in Courier-Bold font. Lines of output with three leading greater than signs, >>>, represent the Python interpreter prompt.
