Pycopy language and implementation

Pycopy aims to implement the Python 3.4 standard (with selected features from later versions) with respect to language syntax, and most of the features of Pycopy are identical to those described by the “Language Reference” documentation at docs.python.org.

The Pycopy standard library is described in the corresponding chapter. The Differences from CPython chapter describes differences between Pycopy and CPython (which mostly concern standard library and types, but also some language-level features).

This chapter describes features and peculiarities of Pycopy implementation and the best practices to use them.
