Well, 2.7 only has 31 keywords most of which are easily understood[1],
as is the enforced indentation structure. Also, pipes and interprocess
communications aren't usually CS101 level classes. The libraries are
where things get interesting and where you should focus your attention.
https://docs.python.org/2/library/ is the official docs, but effbot's
guide, while old, is not entirely obsolete and still provides a nice
overview of things. See http://effbot.org/zone/librarybook-index.htm
