Getting Help

If you experience problems using Python, your first step should be to check the documentation.

• The Python documentation describes the language and the standard modules in detail.

• Many common questions are answered in the Frequently Asked Question lists.

• If you suspect you've discovered a bug in the Python core,

  search the Python Bug Tracker to find out if it's already been reported.

• For Python CGI questions, try Dave Mitchell's Python CGI FAQ.

If the documentation doesn't help, here's how to get help from real people:

• comp.lang.python Post to the Python newsgroup, renowned for its friendly and helpful atmosphere. See the guide to Python mailing lists for more information.

• tutor mailing list A moderate-volume mailing list for folks who want to ask questions while learning computer programming with Python. See the guide to Python mailing lists for more information.

• help@python.org The Python help desk. You can ask a group of knowledgeable volunteers questions about all your Python problems. See the guide to Python mailing lists for more information.

Please don't write the webmaster! The webmaster should only be contacted if you have found a problem with the python.org website such as a broken link, typographic error, or other problem.
