Python Constructs

This page will be continually updated with a list of Python keywords and constructs that we've learned in class to date. Python has many capabilities, functions, and data structures built in to the language and the standard libraries. Part of the objective of this class is to teach you the basic software tools of programming, so you are asked to limit your Python programs to the constructs that we've learned in class to date and not to use a prepackaged Python function that does it all for you. If there's a function not here that you want to use, just ask me.
