Python

Python is a highly versatile scripting language that now ships in ES2. It allows you to do more powerful stuff than ever with ES supporting game servers. However power comes at a prices, Python is written very differently to the original ES language. To try and help newcomers to the language this Python reference will record some of the more important syntax of the library.

This is not a tutorial

It isn't, this will purely be a syntax guide with a few additional notes to point you along the way. The official Python documentation is very complete and also hard to follow for a newcomer. To make things easier this section of the wiki will organise some of the more useful aspects of the language that ESP coders may use.
