Should:
"Like in C, the equal sign ("=") is used to assign a
value to a variable. The value of an assignment is not
written:"

Be:
"The value of an assignment *is* written:"

The sentence is correct as written; it refers to the following 
different responses:

>>> 2+3
5
>>> a=2+3
>>>

However, I do think 'printed' or 'displayed' would be clearer 
both here and in a previous sentence in the same 
subsection.  And, of course, Python assignment is not 
really 'like in C' and people eventually have to learn the 
difference.

[Note: SourceForge does not make urls clickable, and a 
given url may encompass several subsections.  So please 
give section/subsection numbers instead or in addition, as 
in '3.1.1 Numbers']
