hello.py:
 print "hello world"

run:
 python hello.py

shebang:
 #!/usr/bin/python

Everything is an object:
* identity (id)
* type (type)
* value (mutable or immutable)


*Mutable: Dictionary, List
*Immutable: String, Integer, Tuple


Conversion:
* int()
* str()
* float()


Naming convention: PEP8 - Python Enhancement Proposal 8


dir(object) will list all methods one can call on that object

dunder (double under) methods determine what happens when + (__add__) or / (__div__) is called

help("a string".startswith)

comments follow a #


* Tuples - hetergenenous state (name, age, address)
* List - homogenous, mutable (list of names)


Whitespace: instead of { use a : and indent consistently (4 spaces)


Functions have docstrings.  Accessible via .__doc__
  help(fname)
