Python Interpreter Window Symbols

Question

Hello.  Can anyone tell me where I can find information on what the symbols mean, in the auto fill box, when typing commands in the Python Interpreter window?  When I start to type in a command, the auto fill begins to give me possible commands that I'm looking for.  On the left side of each command is, for example, a blue box with blue dashes or just a purple box.  I've looked everywhere for an explanation of what these mean, and I cannot find anything at all.  I'm new to Python and I'm not an expert programmer, so that's probably why I'm not understanding this.  But as I move through tutorials, I'd like to know what these mean.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you for any info.

The commands in blue are default python keywords, which are built-in constructs within the language. Commands in purple are based on the environment: modules, variables and functions that are currently defined in the current session. And finally yellow is used to denote layers that are being pulled in from the current map.
