Well, while there is much more to the STL these days than
in its early years, in many ways the STL is about containers,
and iterating over them. While in C++, this is a complicated
subject matter, in Python, it's not.

There are really only "two and a half" container classes
in Python:

Dictionaries,
Lists (which are analagous to C++ vectors),
and Tuples (which are immutable lists).

I haven't seen any of these phrase books, but Python is just
soooo easy. There's really not much to it.
