Please don=E2=80=99t learn from this link. It=E2=80=99s from 2001. You sh= ould learn from modern documentation: https://docs.python.org/ (if not running 3.4.x, change the version in the top) You also should not read the language reference, it=E2=80=99s meant for peo= ple who really care about what=E2=80=99s under the hood.
