I am trying to learn python. Looking at an example on the web I found this

What do the stars mean?
The python docs have an index that has a Symbols page.
https://docs.python.org/3/genindex-Symbols.html

As a beginner, you might get more help from the tutorial, but the
Symbols index is a way to find concise reminders for the different uses
of different symbols.
