Links from the video

• Blender's Python API documentation. This link is for daily builds, so it may be for a newer version of Blender than you're currently using. If you want the documentation for your version of Blender, go to Help → Python API Reference in Blender itself.
• Python Standard Library. Here you can find lots of information about Python itself.
