I modified slightly the page, to have first links in the page for document 
downloading (and other links deeper in the page).

I reworked the second page to have less informations about string formating 
(nice, but less important than operations on containers), and add sections 
on containers, lists, dictionaries and set.

Added as a note.

Modified with Paul indications (its the "other side" in french - from 
latin).

Done.

Modified (even if I dont teach byte strings with my students).

Modified (it was originally a translation from french, but the 
correcpondance between english version and keywords can be confusing).

Modified to "else block..."

Thanks for your reading and comments.

A+
