An API is just a set of classes or functions. The Python standard library is an API. You already have lots of examples and documentation for the standard library. What exactly is it you are looking for? If I describe, for example, the API to WxPython (for building GUIs) that will probably not help you unless you want to build a GUI. Similarly if I describe Twisted's API (for writing networking programs) that won't help unless you want to write a network server or somesuch. Is there a specific API you have in mind (you mention Google - is that because you want to use it or just because its one you've heard about?)? Or is it just the concept of APIs? If the latter stick with the standard library, or a sub-set of it. For example the os package provides an API into your operating system. Try exploring that. Start with the os module documentation. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
