Functions
› Functions are reusable code snippets which carry out
a specific piece of functionality.

Modules
› A collection of objects that can be imported and
used by other code

Objects
› Any entity that can be manipulated by commands.
› Everything in Python is an object.

Classes
› Describe the rules by which objects behave


Boolean
›
logical data type having one of two values (true or false).

Dictionaries are data structures that are like lists in that they contain any number of
values that you access by the dictionary name and the index.
However, dictionaries offer the added functionality of letting you assign your own
key, instead of the integer that lists automatically assign for you. This key is usually a
string that you want to associate with the value.

Pyccuracy is a Behavior Driven Development style tool written
in Python that aims to make it easier to write automated
acceptance tests. It improves the readability of those tests by
using a structured natural language – and a simple
mechanism to extend this language – so that both
developers and customers can collaborate and understand
what the tests do.
