from the post that opened this thread:
"Perhaps we need a friendlier counterpart to the RefGuide, something
like the 20-page introduction to Python at the beginning of Beazley's
Essential Reference:
* go over the statements one-by-one
* go over the basic types and their methods
* go over object semantics
* cover some of the lexical material in chapter 2 of the RefGuide
* overarching principles: go into a fair bit of detail, but
not every corner case; make the text readable, not meticulously
precise."
