I modified slightly the page, to have first links in the page for document downloading (and other links deeper in the page). > Another thing I noticed that was missing was that the "in" keyword can > not only be used to iterate over a sequence (for i in seq:...) but also > to test if something is contained in a sequence (if i in seq:...). I reworked the second page to have less informations about string formating (nice, but less important than operations on containers), and add sections on containers, lists, dictionaries and set. > "don't miss to close file after use": Use a "with" statement. Added as a note. > "see verso for string formatting..." - what is "verso"?

Modified (it was originally a translation from french, but the correcpondance between english version and keywords can be confusing). > "block else for other cases" - this sounds as if it was blocking the > else.
