+Built-in Constants
+==================
+
+A small number of constants live in the built-in namespace. They are:
+
+
+.. data:: False
+
+ The false value of the :class:`bool` type.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.3
+
+
+.. data:: True
+
+ The true value of the :class:`bool` type.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.3
+
+
+.. data:: None
+
+ The sole value of :attr:`types.NoneType`. ``None`` is frequently used to
+ represent the absence of a value, as when default arguments are not passed to a
+ function.
+
+ .. versionchanged:: 2.4
+ Assignments to ``None`` are illegal and raise a :exc:`SyntaxError`.
+
+
+.. data:: NotImplemented
+
+ Special value which can be returned by the "rich comparison" special methods
+ (:meth:`__eq__`, :meth:`__lt__`, and friends), to indicate that the comparison
+ is not implemented with respect to the other type.
+
+
+.. data:: Ellipsis
+
+ Special value used in conjunction with extended slicing syntax.
+
+ .. XXX Someone who understands extended slicing should fill in here.
+
+
+.. data:: __debug__
+
+ This constant is true if Python was not started with an :option:`-O` option.
+ Assignments to :const:`__debug__` are illegal and raise a :exc:`SyntaxError`.
+ See also the :keyword:`assert` statement.
+
+
+Constants added by the :mod:`site` module
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The :mod:`site` module (which is imported automatically during startup, except
+if the :option:`-S` command-line option is given) adds several constants to the
+built-in namespace. They are useful for the interactive interpreter shell and
+should not be used in programs.
+
+.. data:: quit([code=None])
+ exit([code=None])
+
+ Objects that when printed, print a message like "Use quit() or Ctrl-D
+ (i.e. EOF) to exit", and when called, raise :exc:`SystemExit` with the
+ specified exit code, and when .
+
+.. data:: copyright
+ license
+ credits
+
+ Objects that when printed, print a message like "Type license() to see the
+ full license text", and when called, display the corresponding text in a
+ pager-like fashion (one screen at a time).
