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.

=strings=
strings are impossible to change
<pre><nowiki>strings can be surrounded in a pair of matching triple-quotes: """ or '''. No newlines will be created.</nowiki></pre>
If we make the string literal a “raw” string, \n sequences are not converted to newlines,
raw = r"Hello\nWhat \
is happening"
print raw
Unicode strings
text = u'Hej på dig'
To convert a Unicode string into an 8-bit string
u"äöü".encode('utf-8')
Multi asignment
a, b = 0, 1
print a, b
0 1
=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.
def absolute_value(n):
  if n < 0:
    n = -n
  return n

  ord()        Returns a character as a number.
chr(15)      Return number to character
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.
round(_, 2) Make the floating point into two decimals.

break statement breaks out of the smallest enclosing for or while loop

continue statement continues with the next iteration of the loop.
else Loop statements may have an else clause; it is executed when the loop terminates through exhaustion of the list (with for) or when the condition becomes false (with while), but not when the loop is terminated by a break statement.
