You won't find that sort of thing in the tutorial.  The tutorial is
designed to introduce you to the core _language_ functionality.
Unlike perl but rather like C, python's core language is quite
minimal.  All the really fancy features are implemented either in the
standard library or in additional libraries that can be installed.  To
find out what is in the standard library, read the Library Reference
(also in the "Documentation" section of python.org, I don't have the
url in hand right now).  Do note that the library reference is just
that -- a library reference.  It is not a tutorial and won't cover
the python language, just the library.

In the library reference you'll find info on the 'os' module, which is
where operating system stuff (like the environment) is contained.
You'll also find the built-in functions and the operations supported
by the built-in types (eg dictionaries) documented.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair
and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.  Instead, it should be
that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit, which is of GREAT WORTH in God's sight.  For this is the way the
holy women of the past used to make themselves beautiful.
