3. Python Runtime Services

The modules described in this chapter provide a wide range of services related to the Python interpreter and its interaction with its environment. Here's an overview:

sys		Access system-specific parameters and functions.
gc		Interface to the cycle-detecting garbage collector.
weakref		Support for weak references and weak dictionaries.
fpectl		Provide control for floating point exception handling.
atexit		Register and execute cleanup functions.
types		Names for all built-in types.
UserDict		Class wrapper for dictionary objects.
UserList		Class wrapper for list objects.
UserString		Class wrapper for string objects.
operator		All Python's standard operators as built-in functions.
inspect		Extract information and source code from live objects.
traceback		Print or retrieve a stack traceback.
linecache		This module provides random access to individual lines from text files.
pickle		Convert Python objects to streams of bytes and back.
cPickle		Faster version of pickle, but not subclassable.
copy_reg		Register pickle support functions.
shelve		Python object persistence.
copy		Shallow and deep copy operations.
marshal		Convert Python objects to streams of bytes and back (with different constraints).
warnings		Issue warning messages and control their disposition.
imp		Access the implementation of the import statement.
code		Base classes for interactive Python interpreters.
codeop		Compile (possibly incomplete) Python code.
pprint		Data pretty printer.
repr		Alternate repr() implementation with size limits.
new		Interface to the creation of runtime implementation objects.
site		A standard way to reference site-specific modules.
user		A standard way to reference user-specific modules.
__builtin__		The set of built-in functions.
__main__		The environment where the top-level script is run.
