print "Hello, World!"
command called print followed by one argument,which is "Hello, World!". (referred to as a string of characters, or string) Command and its arguments are collectively referred to as a statement,
print "2 + 2 is", 2 + 2
The first argument is the string "2 + 2 is" and the second argument is the mathematical expression 2 + 2, which is commonly referred to as an expression. each of the arguments separated by a comma
Print without spaces. flush buffers.
import sys
sys.stdout.write(character)
sys.stdout.flush()
sys.argv  arguments are passed to the script in the variable sys.argv

=functions=
The key feature of this program is the def statement. def (short for define) starts a function definition. def is followed by the name of the function absolute_value. Next comes a '(' followed by the parameter n (n is passed from the program into the function when the function is called). The statements after the ':' are executed when the function is used. The statements continue until either the indented statements end or a return is encountered. The return statement returns a value back to the place where the function was called.

  if n < 0:
    n = -n
  return n

  ord()        Returns a character as a number.

repr()      Convert a integer to a string
int()       Convert a string to an integer.
float()      Convert a string to a float
eval()      Takes a string and returns type that python thinks it found
text.split(",")    converts a string into a list of strings. The string is split by whitespace by default or by the optional argument You can also add another argument that tells split() how many times the separator will be used to split the text.
