You should really read through chapter 2 (Built-in Objects) of the
library reference. All that stuff is core Python functionality that
you should be aware of. Reading chapter 3 (Built-in Types) is also
a really good idea. A lot of the rest is good too, but there is
really no excuse for not knowing the contents of those chapters. ;)
It's just a few pages, and very useful to know. Read them now!
